Does anyone know the options to replace standard GM radio cassette with a radio/cd - is there a GM option that maintains display function?

Current unit cassette is completely wonky and considering what I should do...........

Thanks

Vx dealers list a number of replacement radio/cass or radio/cd units by GM, Philips and Dayton which drive the remote display. Try your local in-car hi-fi dealer for other options. Alternatively, try a 'wanted' advert in your local free ads paper for a genuine unit. I found one which was spare due to someone upgrading their stereo. Note if it's not exactly the same model as the original you may need the display reprogrammed for it to display properly.

Agreed!
An exchange unit is £60 ish, from in-car dealers.Probably not worth it for an old model.Your dash display will still operate for non radio functions.
Argos offer a free/cheap fitting service for a new unit.Even halfords were advertising to beat 'trade' prices.
Saying that Vauxhall did leaflet us about special deals, so worth a quick call.
Plus point if you do upgrade, make sure it's slide out to hide away type.save somebody else doing it for you!
