Default Question about tape deck to CD conversion

I want to swap out my factory tape deck with a factory CD deck (there are a couple out on eBay). the question I have is, will the CD deck control my CD changer in the rear w/out having to do any wiring modification?

thanks,

L. :cool:

Welcome to the forum!!!
There should be no problems with the switch... I'm pretty sure they both have the changer port on them :cheers:

Just made the same swap on my 99 coupe a couple of weeks ago. The CD changer controls will work properly. All plugs and mountings match exactly.

I did the same thing on my '99 awhile back. The CD unit simply plugged right into the existing harness, and has no problem controlling the 12-disc CD changer.

I just swapped a 2001 CD Head Unit in place of my 2000 Cassette Head Unit. Just "Plug and Play" for me. :D
