CD Changer: Description and Operation



General Information

The optional CD changer unit is located in the left side of the luggage compartment behind the removable access panel.

The in-dash CD Player is used in conjunction with "Premium V" (single DIN) radio systems from 08.99 through m.y. 2001 only (and also in conjunction with CD Changer).

Wiring from the radio unit to both CD devices is pre-wired in production where applicable.

Switching functions between the CD Player and CD Changer are done manually on the CD Player.

In the event both CD devices are installed, the CD Player cable attaches to the radio and the CD Changer cable attaches to the CD Player.

Before troubleshooting or servicing, technicians must be familiar with the functions and operation specifics of the applicable radio system and installed CD device. Always read the radio owner's manual and review all radio and CD Changer/Player functions.

NOTE: If the CD Changer/Player plays commercially available CDs, but not home recorded CDs, the CD device is not malfunctioning. Replacement or exchange of CD device is not warranted for this reason.

CAUTION:
- Do not use 8 cm diameter "mini disks". Should a "mini disk be inserted, it will not eject and CD player damage will result.
- Do not use CDs that contain a mix of computer and music data.
