Need a Phillips tape deck head unit removable faceplate as old one has died on the mx5. Does anyone have one or know where I can get one. Everything else works as I have a CD stacker in boot.

Cheers,
Simon.

You could try keep an eye on ebay but I suggest they'll have the complete headunit. It has a security code so not sure if the faces are interchangeable.

Unless someone has one laying around might be a good excuse to upgrade.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

If you're after originality, you might be interested in this from an NB8A:

Thanks clubman. What do you think about the security code. If they give me the chasis number will Mazda give me the security code. No point buying it if it doesnt work. I already have a radio that doesnt work. Cheers.

Email Mazda Aust Customer Service & ask them: <CustomerServiceEnq@mazda.com.au>. I'm not sure if they're open during the Xmas/ New Year break, but from experience they are very helpful & usually respond in under 24 hrs, except on weekends.

Btw, NB8A CD-Tuners usually start at about $75 on ebay & come up occasionally.
