Hey guys, not been on here a lot since i got my astra but still come back and check...

ok the deal is this..
mate of mine has an L reg (i think) Corsa B
the headunit in it is old and non-functional... and its not the newer corsa with the display bit at the top of the dash

so the question is...
i have now sitting 3 cassette players from my astra G, my mums astra G and my old corsa B (v-reg new style.. but not corsa C)
can this go into the l-reg corsa?

Reason i wonder is ... older car to the player
no display so how does the stations and tape settings set?

If not.... whats the alternative? a unit with the usual display integrated?
problem with her is she wants a cassette not CD... so trying to pick up a cheap but decent cassette player is not possible! or is it?

any help will be appreciated.

thanks

The units will work but if they need codes you'll have to do it blind and changing station ect will have to be done by ear. Its gonna be a pain in the ass whichever way you look at it.

Its best to dig out a unit with an integrated screen, but unfortunalty CD players are now cheaper than tape players to buy new.

I got a new unit for her in the end... got a jvc thats half price... £100 for a mp3/cd player which is cool
problem is... the cage doesnt lock at the back like the old unit which had a bolt
this cage is half... not sure how to secure it now
