2006 Legacy UK spec stereo model

#1 (**permalink**) 09-12-2006, 03:41 AM

Can anyone tell me the model no. of the original equipment radio/CD fitted
in a 2.0R Legacy?
I've just ordered the car and the dealer wants a fortune for the CD changer
so I'm looking to buy the changer from an audio dealer instead.
I believe the OE stereo is a Kenwood unit.
TIA,
Martin

Have you looked at using your MP3 player instead. Useing a small fm
transmitter and receiver through your radio. This is the way I went.
Cost me 10pound on ebay, plus I already had an MP3 player. A lot cheaper
than a cd changer..

IIRC; the CD player in the 2006 will play MP3s.
