Yeah John, Mickey Mouse, for sure.

I have had a couple of different types. The JDM one had single CD plus radio cassette [double din]. Stations on the tuner were wrong frequency, but I fixed that. It had six speakers, including the tweeters on the dash.

Strangely the two UK cars I have had used the single head unit with the changer in the boot. They only feed 4 speakers, and they don't use the tweeters. But what is odd about this is the sound quality. With 4 speakers the sound quality is better than that of the JDM unit using 6 speakers!

I can only presume it is a top quality head unit and it gets the best out of the speakers.
