I'm about to buy a '91 reg 944 S2 that still has the original Blaupunkt radio/cassette with graphic equalizer underneath it. Is it a straightforward job to swap it for a cd player with storage unit underneath? Are the existing connectors suitable for it or are there any adaptors needed?

Any other tips gratefully received, many thanks.

Stuart

I'd be inclined to keep it if you can - assuming it all works. A cd changer was an option so a decent ICE fitter could graft the cd changer into your system as long as the HU supports it.

I think the graphic equalisers are quite rare especially if it still works.

I'm definately keeping the originals and the graphic equalizer does still work, just wanted to update it while I'm running the car.

Thanks for the replies.

I wouldn't advise cutting the cables if you sell the car the next owner won't be able to restore it if they should want to. Anyway its a cowboy job.
You can buy the adaptor connectors for your ICE and simply plug it into the 944 connectors without cutting anything.
I ordered my adaptors from a US specialist I'll try find a link .You may need an adaptor for the aerial connector too by the way which you can get at Halfords
