CD changer replacement...

[punisher]

My CD changer has stopped working and I need a replacement. Has anyone heard anything about the factory changer from crutchfield.com?

Also, how easy is the removal/installation? Is there instructions anywhere?

Wow... $250 bucks... Hold out man, they go up for sale here on the board frequently... And they sell for between $50 and $100 SHIPPED...

Put up a post saying that you're looking for one...

i got a stock one- i'll sell it for $50 shipped for sure. if it doesn't work i'll even refund everyting but the shipping price (it worked when removed 2.5 years ago and has been stored indoors)

Mine still has the standard changer in it and I get pissed off with it skipping, can I fit a different changer that will still work with the factory head unit?

Since you have the changer plug already, you're better off buying another OEM one instead of an aftermarket. If you get an aftermarket, you need to get an adapter and run a wire to the amp which is located in the right rear quarter panel. It's a big hassle!

the kenwood doesn't need the adapter

crutchfields site says so

oopps i was wrong

sorry yeah you need an adapter

I bought their Kenwood changer and the adapter a few years ago for like $240?? Not a bad deal then. It still works like a charm.

It's not that bad. I want to keep everything stock b/c I park my truck at school during the school year and there have been a lot of break-ins so that was the best way to go.
