Re: 10-disc changer install
I'm not sure that you can do it with a stock headunit. Unless of course it has an Input, and most stock decks don't have input's. What cd changer is it? I don't see how you could run it without having inputs on the headunit, although I have never installed a changer so wait for another opinion.

Re: 10-disc changer install
Most companies offer a kit for their changers that will allow you to hardwire it to the antenna input. There will also be a seperate control for the changer that you will need to mount somewhere on your dash or console. In order to hear CDs with this set-up, you simply tune one of your radio presets to the frequency that your changer is set to.

Re: 10-disc changer install
OHHH yeah, and if nothing else you could always just go to radioshack and get an fm modulator. Some of the changers actually have a built in fm modulator, sorry about my last post this completely slipped my mind.

Re: 10-disc changer install
yeah the one i bought comes with an FM modulator. im just wondering how to hook the fm modulator up to the stock headunit. its got like 4-5 wires but idk where to exactly hook them up. i know what to do with the radio plug but the others i dont. one says a 'an always live wire' and another thats only live when ignition or some shit. then theres black grounding wire etc...

Re: 10-disc changer install
well the "A" goes to the battery. The only live when ignition has to be run from the ignition, you could just tap into the wire from your headunit. Black can just be grounded to the chassis. Problem is you'll have to run wires from the headunit to the changer.
I don't know what the other two are. If it has a built in FM modulator. You should be able to just tune the car stereo to the early numbers. like the 88- 89 range is usually where it's at. But I'm not possitive
