Adding a cd stacker unit to a Citroen C5 - Collos25
Having just purchased a new Citroen C5. Being tight fisted I would not pay for the Citroen stacker unit.I have two brand new 10 cd units a Sony and a Blaupunkt including leads.Does anybody know if it is possible to mate either of these up to the factory fitted radio cd unit.If I am not mistaken the unit is made by clarion but with Cit/Pug connectors.

Firstly, Congratulations on your new purchase. I hope you enjoy yours as much as the other C5 owners here have.

You can get an adapter from www.connects2.com . This is not a recommendation as I have had no personal dealings with them.

I would recommed putting some decent speakers in your car, try some 17cm Sony custom fit speakers. About £40/pair but you will hear the difference.

You might also like to look at autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/c5-l/ where there is a lively C5 discussion.

Have fun. Ben

Wasn't the 90bhp HDI a bit slow? They don't mention that engine on the website any more.

Which engine do you have now? I've a (slightly) modified HDI 110 (now more like 130). Thats nice to drive.

My C5 has the factory fitted stacker under the driver's seat. It's certainly a Clarion - works well!

Its a plug in box from www.dieselchiptuning.com . The HJ site moderator has a similar one for his Alfa.

The box takes 10 minutes to fit or remove, for me has slightly improved economy especially on the motorway. I wouldn't switch back even though my insurance costs are higher (24 years old as well).

I haven't performed any accelration tests etc, I just know it is fast!
