Default which stereo's work with cd changer and import?

I can't see it on search,maybe looking for it all wrong but want to put a new stereo in my car, as it is an import I believe I will need an adapter to play radio as well as to sort cd changer out...any advise please on which models to get?

My price range is anything from £70-£130 for the head unit. Thanks in advance guys

on my import S2000 with aftermarket Pioneer HU, the arial just plugged in - no adaptors required.
CD Changer is dependant on what brand is currently fitted. if it's honda branded, then im unsure on what brand. if it's branded then you'll have to ensure the HU is the same brand with the same connector.

unless your on about the remote control on the right side of the steering wheel...
Modifry seems to be the best of the bunch - most garanteed to work 100%.

Modifry's compatibility list here:

Alpine are probably the easiest as you can get the ready to go "Plug and Play" adapter, otherwise you'll need to get the Modifry Adapter Harness as well as the DCI (magic signal translating voodoo) and be prepared to wire them all together (soldering/terminal blocks).

I did the latter as I had a Sony head unit kicking around and have been very happy with the results.

I also have an import and didn't need to do anything else, but I don't have a CD changer.

You need an adapter to get the UK range of FM on a Japanese radio/head unit, which you should already have if the importers did a decent job. So you don't need one with a UK head unit, in fact you need to take it out. It'll just be a box inline with the aerial connection.

No idea about the CD changer, but I'd be suprised if you can get it to work. I'm sure most people replace the lot.
