Just fitted mine (from Savastore).

It even plays my 20Gb iRiver via USB

Just need to find a cheap 512Mb memory card now.

The only slight niggle so far is that it won't power on unless I have the ignition on (my old one would). I'll probably rewire the plug so that the permanent live is split to go to both the live and ignition input on the unit.

Apart from that I'm really pleased with it so far.

I got my card from Savastore when I got my unit, 512meg for £19.52 (inc vat)
I think it's time to make some garden ornaments from the old CD's.

Ho ye.. and it is useful to have the same format for my phone, car radio and camera!

What have you guys fitted it into?

I have a Megane with a 6 cd changer (does not play mp3). Any ideas if the changer will still work?

The manual says it supports a Sanyo CD changer.

You'd be better off contacting H & B for an answer. I'd suspect it is unlikely to work.

I just stored all my CD'd on a 20 gig "2.5 laptop hard disk with a usb 2.0 enclosure (about £6 from Ebay) and scrapped the changer altogether. I have no CD's in the car anymore, everything is on SD or on the USB drive. I sold my changer on the bay for £30 so it was well worth it. By the way, I never heard of H&B but the product have a very high quality feel to it for the price.
