A changer for that price is too good to be true (not to mention that it is an "off brand"). If it is available for that price, you might ask yourself, why is it that cheap.

Anyways, there is no description or specs (another "red flag", not to purchase it)... can't tell if you can hook it up to anything.

Oh another thing, I never had a good experience with used or repaired CD players... they tend to go bad in three months.

You know what you can do is, convince one of your friends (a friend with a unit that you would want) that he or she needs a new changer, maybe, just maybe, you can inheret their old unit.

Actually, you would need a $10-16 adapter, before you would be able to plug that aftermarket Alpine (M-Bus) Changer to your stock radio.

Not sure if it is compatable with your unit but at approx. $150.00, it is affordable. I remember when I purchased my first Alpine changer in 1988... (yes 1988, not a typo). It costed $500.00.

The alpine (6 chgr) fits in the glovebox too. Bought it, the adapter and everything went together nice. If you do put it in the glovebox, the adapter is like two feet long. Perfect for the distance to the Glovebox. You don't even need the 10-12 foot cable that comes with the unit. Clean.

The only thing I don't like about the unit is the cartridge. It has 6 loose mini catridges that hold each CDs and it's a pain to change them out while driving. Still a good unit for the price.
