thanks mate, how easy is it to swap a cd rom base to the dvd rom base? is it a straight swap in the boot the hard drive?

Not sure to be honest matey i was wondering if it could be done as after all if the wiring is the same (would need to check the plugs on the units) you'd think it would work but think you would need the screen and remote control unit to do it as there different to the cd rom based setup?

the funny thing is when i spoke to the person that is selling it, he goes it has the same remote as my current 2000 one from the sounds of it which is unusal as the newer ones are a square big black piece not the same as the small one which can be taken off the main console bit!

Thinking about it though the newer remote must do the same as the older one? i know the screen in the newer one is slightly bigger but after all its still a screen, Its a shame we dont know someone with the newer unit so we could try it to see if it would work with the older setup

Although the remote was actually a fixed panel in the newer models, the old remote still worked.

There should be a small infra red filter window in the top right of the larger screen.

How sad is this - the nag screen really annoys me so I spent countless hours recreating the same infra red "OK" signal that would transmit from the back parcel shelf after about 35 secs from the time the ignition was switched on. Worked a treat. Don't know if it was worth all the frustration though....
