Hi Nick,

The whole thing is pretty straight forward. The project consists of the following parts:

 - PCB. Can be ordered from here (comes in volumes of three).

 - Electrical components to be soldered onto PCB. Can be ordered from here (this also includes the RN52 bluetooth chip that takes care of bluetooth comms and the "brain" - ATmega328P chip).

 - CD changer connector. Can be ordered from a place as described in here.

 - Latest version of the code to be uploaded to the ATmega328P chip. I posted the latest version of it here a few days ago.

Once you receive your PCB and electrical components, you'll have to solder them onto PCB. Willis has done an excellent job making it extra easy to do that as the PCB has really good markings for the electrical components corresponding to the product description on the packages of the components from Mouser. For example: R6 resistor from the package "goes here" on PCB, RN52 chip is to be "soldered here", and so on.

Once that is completed, you'll have to upload the code to the ATmega328P chip and you should be good to go! :)

Good luck!
