Just had to take the cd unit out of my s40 to remove a foreign object. And it got me thinking.
It’s the exact same size as a regular headunit.

Would it be possible to replace the CD drive for a headunit? I have one laying around but before I look into it, I wanted to ask here.

I noticed the optical lead going into the back of the drive as well as what looked like a standard ISO harness. Would I need to get/make an adaptor for this to work? Or could the iso harness supply the sound to the car?

If it’s not possible just shut me down 😂 I’m just fed up of using an fm transmitter when I have a decent Sony headunit just sat on my shelf from my old car.
