peugoet 406 radio - Robin the Technician
Hi,
On the earlier Pug estates which I usto have one, the rad/cass was fitted as standard and fitted in the rear was a six CD changer. This was fitted at the n/s in the boot area behind the removable panel (where you store bulbs etc).
My Rad/cass had a button (from memory) to switch over to CD and it worked really well. If you've got the stalk on the o/s behind the steering wheel to control radio use, its probably got the CD controls on it as well. Might be worth asking a breakers on even E-bay for the Pug OE fit one. Fitting an Aftermarket unit into a dedicated dash with an odd shaped front on it will be a nightmare!!!

Ive got a single play pioneer fitted in my 406, it was a simple case of unplugging the standard fit radio, & refitting the plugs straight into the pioneer with no problems. I purchased a radio adaptor kit from a motor factors to fit into the dash shaped gap that made it look tidier n the pioneer slotted straight in, costs about £15 from motor factors.
