Not disputing that for one minute or the ease of fitting a CR 906 with the right wiring adapters (Autoleads!!) but, the guy originally asked for something that the car might have been fitted with at the outset. Bob

I'm glad you joined this thread Bob, something in the dim and deep recesses of my memory cell says you have some original catalogues from the time the OPs car was made?

Personally I think it is great to keep the original radio cassette in the shed,and have a more up to date one fitted,so that digital stations can be received.

But It doesn't look as out of place as modern units which light up everywhere , The CR 906 is still nearly 30 years old 👍

Yes ... but was a CR - 906 about in the UK 1987? I don't think so and, original 1987 head unit was what the guy asked for. If you want originality a 906 is not it ... although it's a well fit. Bob
