6 disk cd changer question

The stock, OEM, radio takes one disk only. Press the mode button to change funtions.
If you have the OEM 6 Disk Changer it will be located in the boot on the passenger side.

Hope this helps...

That would be great but i don't have a computer, and my android phone is on limited space
But I'm gonna check the trunk for the cd changer if i don't have it I'll be disappointed
But thanks for the reply

Odds are you don't. It mounts on the floor on the right side - impossible to miss.
You're much better off getting an auxiliary input so you have essentially unlimited capacity vs. the clunky, space hogging 6 CD changer.

The cd changer is an uncommon item to have, it was kinda $$, and most mini's were sold during the time folks were going mp3 crazy, and switching to i-pods...
Some of the factory head-units CAN read mp3 cd's....but a simple line in jack is the best option for most folks....means you can use your choice/brand of ipod/phone to play unlimited music, saved or streamed, even using lossless compression for cd quality of your entire collection....while leaving them safety at home...out if the temperature extremes of a car, and away from thiefs....
I have seen cd changers for sale for as little as $30...and 90% of cars are prewired....but you cannot (usually) have the cd changer and the line-in/ipod plugin at the same time.
