Swap my Highline Radio for a Widescreen Bordmonitor

Avulon · 24th August 2014, 11:23

Does anyone have a Widescreen bordmonitor to swap for a highline radio unit? Probably a long shot but thought I'd try for a straight swap before going through the sell/buy process.

The radio unit was working fine, I just upgraded to a BM24, now looking to do a similar job with the head unit.

I have just done mine the other way round, as I had a cheeky bid and won the 16:9 Bordmonitor with tape, the 16:9 TV Tuner, Mk3 drive and cd changer for £115 ! :O

Im now on the hunt for a BM24, the repair guy said he'd do me a BM24 with all the upgrades inc bluetooth for £180 which is still too high for me.

Keep looking, I got a standard BM24 for less than £70, and I use an old nokia bluetooth system which is entirely separate but works well enough, of course it'd be nice if it worked with the car system though, the 16:9 has a phone button doesn't it?

You've also just reminded me that the 16:9 comes with either tape or (and I think it's a rare sight in the wild...) with CD! I seem to remember Phil-T4 showing me one some time ago...

CD ones seem a bit pointless when you have a changer in the glovebox.
I've managed to get a BM54 instead, with the repair work and uprating done with the addition of Bluetooth for streaming music.
The Telephone button doesnt work on our cars as we need the ULF aerial too plus the in car wiring.

True about the cd if you have multichanger. I could have one but instesd I've got my own mp3 solution in it's place. It would be handy to just be able to pop a cd into the hesd unit on a rare occasion.
