    No - You get a model which is the GT30RN, not shown on Argos web site... Has a slot for front loading CD.

    Just picked one of these up, Argos Cheshunt. Fantastic value for money. Fits straight into Fiat Punto HLX 2001.

    Just to confirm, it looks like the GT200, but as it's a bespoke model (GT30RN) for Renaults it also has a remote and CD Changer compatibility which the GT200 doesn't... So it's a bit of a bargain if you can get one...

    A quick question for those of you who have fitted one of these stereos... Did anyone get a wiring loom with the stereo or does it connect straight into the cars loom? Not sure if I'm missing this or not as the last stereo I fitted came with a loom also..

    Another question - Does the Stereo have a mute facility for car phone kits, or is a telemute adaptor required?

    Thanks...

    Nope, no wiring loom supplied - just plugged straight into our existing Rover loom.

    No carphone mute facility that I can see after a quick look through the instructions.

    Thanks Bubba for the info, looks like I'll need to buy a telemute kit to fit the handsfree kit...
