CD Changer Question

Hello, I have a 2005 MCS with the base sound system and would like to add the 6 disk changer to the trunk. Can someone tell me is the connection for the changer already back there? Also, anyone know what the correct part number for the changer is and any idea how much it would cost from a dealer? Is there any difference between model years for the changer connection, for example, would a changer from an '02 work with my '05 without a problem? One last question, how difficult is it to install?

I'm guessing buying from ebay would be better, but would like to know the part number to be sure it's the correct one.

Any help is greatly appreciated...thanks!

There's only one changer, AFAIK.
FWIW, I'd seriously look at the aux/ipod option instead. They're up on ebay regularly. The dealer wants $600 or so. I almost went the CD changer route, but had reservations due to the space constraints. Ipod is smaller, holds more music, and doesn't take up valuable boot space!

Also, the 2005 headunits play mp3s, so that is about 150 songs on 1 cd vs. the 90 odd on 6 audio CDs.
