Default Radio

Hi

Just joined after getting a S2000 MY04 Black car. The radio in the car has a model 3YA3 and I can see no reference to this model. I am trying to find out what CD changer would match this head unit. I don't want to change the head unit if possible.

Buy the Honda one, don't fall for the interface adapters that claim you can use a different brand with your unit, I had major problems with one of those and the sound quality was awful.

You'll find it cheaper to get a single slot Alpine MP3 player with modifry dash controls.

Honda unit is around

If it is a Honda (badged) radio then only a (ridiculously priced) Honda (badged) changer will work with it.

Best to dump the head unit and get something like an Alpine head unit and changer.

I just happened to have Honda's "Build my S2000" page up in another tab as I read this and had got to the options page:

I just changed my HU this morning for an Alpine and for the improvement in sound quality alone it was worth ditching the stock one.
