To install an aftermarket changer. You run a plug from the control piece to your FM antenna feed in back of the factory stereo in the dash. Then run power, ground, and remote to the control base. The hard part is running the big cable from the control box to the trunk to plug into the changer. Lastly, you out the remote somewhere easy to see...and you are set...

If that is too much work for a cd player that sounds JUST LIKE your radio. Then you may want to find a new changer. They swap out fairly quickly. I have an extra if you need that route. PM me and I will shoot you a price.

I bough a JVC cd changer and mounted in the trunk. The FM connect directly into my trunk's antenna. The problem is, you will loss all your digital sound. It was a bad idea to buy a FM CD changer

Why not buy a Mp3 CD player... run you about the same? Maybe bit more, and is a LOT better in all ways. Carry 10 cds on one, and music is relatively free!
