    A sony headunit would probably be cheaper than a compatable cd changer. Have you tried eBay?

    Integrated stereos tend to be standard din units with a fancy dan front end that fits in with the dash. It should be possible to take out the integrated stereo and replace it with the sony one. You'll have to get a facia plate to fill the gap. You should be able to get these from a dealer or from the likes of halfords. You may need special tools to remove the integrated stereo, but if you're buying the facia plate from a dealer, they may take it out for you for free or let you borrow the tools for a short while.

    You might be able to get a facia adaptor to replace the original radio with your system.
    What year is the Seat?

    All I can suggest is try looking for a seat forum, it may be possible that the display can be integrated into a facia adapter, you might find somebody who's done it before.

    There are adaptors for Sony and Kenwood cd changers to that unit:
