Acura 3.0 CL cd head unit
Hello guys...i'm new to this forum...and i need your help. i have an acura 3.0 cl'98 and plan to attach a cd changer to the cd head unit. first question....my stock cd player has the "chg" letters on top of the cd button...so i'm assuming i can attach a cd changer to it. right? second, what changer will be compatible with this stock cd head unit. is my head unit also made by alpine (just like the hondas) therefore any alpine cd changer will be compatible with it with the proper adapters?
third....and this may be quite tedious for you guys to explain but any help would be welcomed...how do i remove the stock head unit to get to the back of it. i've looked all around for screws to remove the dash and console where the head unit sits on and i couldn't find any. i've installed a cd player and changer on my old 95 civic and that was quite simple. i'd like to try doing it on this acura first before having to pay like $70 to have someone do it for me. thanks guys! g

You should come on over to the First Gen forum. Not as much traffic, but it's more specific to our cars.
As far as the changer, I was looking into one and actually found several Acura ones on eBay for cheap!! You may want to do that. If you get an Acura one it's pretty much plug and play. BTW, your headunit is a Bose. Oh yeah, welcome to the board

Grab a small flat head screw driver. And take out the black trim around the headunit and the other things arond there. Its one piece.
When you take that out, you will find screws inside holding it in, its gonna be phillips. There should also be a metal security bar holding it in place, unscrew that also.
