Can I put this Acura CD Changer in a '00 TL

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5730788201

Would that work in a 2000 TL, and how easy would it be to hook up?

All the answers greatly appreciated.

I've got exactly the same unit in my 2000TL. Go for it. This thing works great (mine at least). Good luck.

why not get the 6 discs in-dash CD changer from the 2002 or newer model. That is the unit I currently have in my 2000 TL, it fit perfectly. I also bought it on ebay for about $280.

So 2002 to present head units are drop-in replacements for a 2000? Anyone know what a new one costs?

They are DEFINITELY drop-in replacements, like I mentioned b4, I had one put in to replace my single disc player that come w/ my 2000 TL. The cost for a new one is about $700, tooooo pricey, just look for it on ebay, or check out the black market forum on here.

Good question - my stock 2000 head unit plays all my CD-Rs. Wouldn't want to trade one problem for another.

NOPE, the units in 2001 and newer models don't have that problem. That was the main reason why I upgraded my unit for the in-dash changer from BOSE.

Just be careful...it has been mentioned plenty of times before in the forums that only a changer from a 02-03 TL will work in a 99-01 TL. A changer from an 02-03 CL will not work.
