Default CD changer question

hi everyone.
ok, so i've searched the forum for CD changer problems. and i found out that ES300 CD changers can work on sc's. my question is, does the CD changer on the es300's go in the trunk or in the glovebox?
i looked on ebay for a ES300 CD changer, and it showed a picture of the head unit for it and a CD changer. i cant just change the CD changers?
and do any of you know any good CD changers that we can replace that go in the glovebox?
please help me on this one.
i'm sick of hearing the radio playing the same songs over and over again.
thank you in advance.

Your car should be pre-wired, you just have check for the plug.

Be patient i guess, I usually see it on ebay.

BTW, If your car didn't come w/ changer, then you will need a new glove box and the trim piece also. You could get around it w/ some custom work, but it might be easier buying a glove box off ebay (~$60).
