Cost over £700 plus vat for the CD setup alone in the early 90's!!!! I paid no where near that amount :)

CD setup comprises a CD head unit with seperate tuner unit & amplifier...

Wired up the head unit & amp etc. All works perfectly and sounds excellent for a 90's unit...

I hate how they make all the other alternatives look exactly like a GoPro! Surely it won't take much to make it a unique looking productQuote:

Some sunglasses, got some funny looks wearing them but with the sun being so low at this time of year they are a necessity. Paid 99p for them on ebay but postage was £4

I know what amp I need, just got to wait for one to come up. The thing is they use DIN plugs for the connection rather than RCA leads so I am limited to late 80's or early 90's kit. Unless I can get a DIN to RCA conversion lead.
Alternatively you could get the soldering iron out and knock one up yourself. But seeing as you go through great lengths finding OEM 80's/90's stuff, I can't see you incorporating a DIY lead. Well impressed by your finds btw! :thumb:Quote:

I first saw one in a Vauxhall accessories brochure then I found this complete setup by chance on ebay.Quote:

I have thought of a few different options. I have found a new DIN to RCA adapter lead I could use then fit some underseat subwoofers.Quote:
