    Looking for a cheap (read free) boost radio for my car. I got stuck with the wave one and can't fit anything to it at all. It's a real pain.

    Seen them on eBay but they always seem to go for crazy amounts so thought I'd ask around see if anyone has a resonably priced one or even seen one on eBay that maybe other people haven't really noticed.

    Don't care if it's even just a tape cassette player. Just want to fit an AUX port without having the hassle of buying a bunch of cables to change one set of inputs to the other.

    When you change from wave to boost you will need to buy a conversion lead from a mini dealer. this converts the roun pins to the flat pins. there is also another conversion cable required if you have a cd changer fitted

    Hmm. So I guess I need more than just a radio. Any ideas on how much that stuff costs?

    Also I have the CD Changer prep but don't need to use it so does that mean I could get away without buying that second cable?

    I think the wave to boost lead is about £20. If you dont want to use the CD prep then you dont need the extra lead. I dont think its as expensive as the other lead though. Ask Bignorm at eastern to get prices for you.
