CD Changer Cartridge

[Fast Eddie]

Is the Ford CD Chnager cartridges compatible with any other mnaufacturer? Does anyone know who makes the ford changer? Where is the best place to get replacements?

a best buy audio shop worker told me that the ford changer cartridge could not be purchased from any place except ford, alittle hard to beleive, since ford works with JBL to get their systems in the cars though, you could probablly get a JBL 6 disc, but I would make sure it works before you buy it

There is cd changer on ebay now for an explorer. The seller says it was made by clarion.

Watch out for ebay. All changers are not the same or at least that is what I can gather. Go to http://www.radiosandmore.com and they have them for around $25.00 call the 800 # if you have Q's they help you any way they can.

The changer is a Clarion, or at least it is with the Premium system in '97. I got mine from autotoys.com about 2 years ago. Somewhere in the cd changer cartridge section, you can actually see both the Clarion & the Ford branded magazines, and the Clarion is cheaper in price, not quality. You do need to make sure that you get the right one, though.
