hey guys.. i just bought 02 x type S and unfortunally it has cassett player lol.. I have pioneer touch screen but i really like to keep this car all stock... any way i can get cd player without take original ones out maybe put one in the back of trunk or underneath seat instead of on the dash? Im trying to get my ipod work with cd player as well.. thank you!!

 

Not sure if it's a direct plug and play, but you can buy the radio with CD on E-Bay for probably less than $100. I'm sure someone will chime in whether or not that is the case.

I never knew a cassette was standard in '02. Hard to believe, but there are a lot of things not standard that you would expect, like heated seats or a sunroof.

 

yeah its weird cuz it has sunroof, heated seat( i believe its two buttons next to embergency Lights, im not sure its heated seat button).. even tho theres button it says CD but no where to put CD lol.. I just want to leave Dash how it is now, thats why i asked even tho i have touch screen to put it in but i dont want to lol

 

Yeah, those two buttons on either side of the e-flasher are teh heated seats.

The reason there is a cd button is for uniformity. All are the same even if you do not have that feature. Just like the phone icon button. Button is on there even if you don't have Jaguar Voice.

 

so if i dont want to mess with anything on the dash my best bet would be just to get CD changer and put it in the trunk?? u know if ipod adaptor works with stock stereo??

 

Actually, the cassette player was an OPTION for the 2002. Standard was a cd player. The intent of the cassette player was that you would also buy the 6 disc changer for the trunk.

Therefore, I'd suggest you attempt to locate a factory 6 disc cd changer. You may need the dealer to do a little programming after you install it however.

I have an FM modulator cd changer in the trunk. Works ok, but not fantastic, stock version would be a better way to go.

I use the cassette with my IPOD and the sound quality is quite good, fwiw. Pretty much any cassette adapter will work fine, I have a Belkin and a Phillips and both work fine.
