Hey, im new to mini2.com and the modern mini's. I've just bought a 51 reg mini one and i love it. The only problem is it has a cd changer concected to the standard mini stereo , but when i try to play a cd no sound comes through. I think the problem is that the previous owner had an aftermarket head unit in and put the origonal mini stereo back in when he sold it and must have not conected one of cables from the cd chnager.

So i want to get the stereo out so i can have a look to see whats wrong, it looks a bit tricky though so could anyone give me some advise at getting the standard mini stereo out please?

Cheers,
Dan

Is the CD changer the OEM version as well? If it isn't then it is likely it won't work.
