Trunk cd changer
The trunk cd changer that I have doesn’t work. It’s not jammed with a cd, it just doesn’t play
has anyone ever sent one of these out to get repaired? If so, where? I tried some local places but they won’t do it
if I can get it up and running for $50-100 it is work it to me
thanks

There is a guy in Huntsville Texas that repairs them. He modifies the unit and it must be mounted horizontal. doctordons.com
You should call and get an estimate first. It may be more than you want to spend.

I had the same thing happen to me last year with my 98' coupe with a rear mounted factory disc changer in the trunk cavity. I was using the interface cable in between the harness and the changer to give an 1/8" aux input. The flaw with that adapter was that the cd needed to run triggering voltage to work the aux on the factory radio which had a cassette deck so when the cd player died for me, no more ipod stuff. So...... do i invest in repairing or purchasing 25 year old electronic technology ? Could not do it. To many moving parts in those units to think it would last so went with an aftermarket retro fit that destroyed nothing, can go back to stock any time and has 1/8, flashdrive and bluetooth inputs as well as normal radio. Carrying my music on a flashdrive makes everything easier. Was about $200 from Crutchfield.

This is correct. I mounted mine horizontally under the trunk floor to the existing GM brackets. Works perfectly.

I posted my Crutchfield invoice. There are a lot of options that fit and you need the antenna adapter and the Bose adapter to keep the integrity of the sound system, Mine sounds great. I also had them make the harness for easy hookup. The website will lead you through it.
