Hi,

Could anyone advise me as to how one can connect an MP3 player up to a
citroen C5 stereo?

A friend of mine managed to find and adapter for his ford KA stereo
that provided a line-in through the CD autochanger input. Does such a
thing exist for the C5 stereo?

I have used FM transmitters in the past to connect up MP3 players to
the stereo and while they are OK, I'd prefer a direct connection!

Cheers

Sorry, I havent been clear...

There is no aux input so no where to plug in a mini-jack.

I was wondering if there is an adpater to change the cd-changer input
into a jack socket to connect the MP3 player.

try on ebay....

or look to the rear panel of your radio, sometimes there is a connector
(hidden)

some months past--on this ng someone posted a thread about this question
about c5/mp3--this person discovered that citroen dealers either did nt know
or didnt want to know how this could be done--he was quietly advised that
peugot had al ittle kit of plugs/connectors/etc which had to be attached at
the rear of the radio--on a terminal block--ending up with a 3mm socket
with which to connect the mp3 player--try peugot spares--.neil<> >
