I think I found some factory wiring for a CD changer>

I was fixing the panals in my trunk today, My mechanic took my car apart to install the shocks and didnt put everything together right so.....

On the driver rear speaker in the trunk there is an extention on the speaker wiring, I unraveled it and it reaces into the hatch where that spot is on the left, is this for a CD changer?

My car has the upgraded speakers and upgraded tape deck- I dont have any complaints other then a CD player would be nice, could I buy one and hook it up to this? also if possible how would I switch modes from tape& radio to now CD? I dont have a button.

I'm techno confused, if somone has an easy answer just shoot.

Can I add a CD changer to my factory radio?
Yes, if you have a 98 or 99 than you must have the tape deck. You cannot add a Cd changer to a Cd Headunit in the 98-99 models. If you have a 2000-up then it doesnt matter. You can add a changer to either the tape deck or cd player headunit.

What CD changers will work?
Of course the AC Delco 12 disc changer will work. Alpines 6 disc (M-bus series) changer will work along with the Alpine adaptor. Kenwoods 10 disc along with the PIE adaptor also works. And finally Rockford Fosgates 6 disc change with the Periphial adaptor works. The Alpine adaptor was KCE202b. However they no longer make it. You may get lucky and find a shop that has one left over or you could try to find one on ebay.


How do I add the changer?
Both the Camaro and Firebird that are equipped with the Monsoon system are prewired for the CD changer. The plug is located behind the carpet that covers the drivers side cubby hole. Its wrapped in foam taped to the speaker harness usually. Plug in the appropiate adaptor and then plug the changer into the adaptor. No adaptors are needed for the AC Delco changer.

so it sounds like it would work for me being a 98 and upgraded tape deck now how would I switch to CD mode?

Our Jetta has a button on the dash panal which turns it over to the CD changer, how would I do that?
