Default CDX..is it pre wired?

Check under the carpet above the driver's side rear wheel well. Pull off the roof storage bracket at the wheel well, just pull it it straight off. I think there might be a cable there which would be for the xm module. I know that you don't have the xm module but the wiring might be there. you would just connect the harness that came with the cd changer to the cable connector for the xm radio. Good Luck.

Let me try to save you some money. a CD hold about 22 song. Times 6 would be 132. You can get about 150 songs on one CD if you use MP3 format. I just made a CD with 10:07 worth of music on it. Not much reason to get a Cd changer. I hope this helps.

It Has been a while since I installed my changer, but I believe you are set to go with the connector that you have. Your dealer should know if it is the proper connector. I am not home now and can't check the install pictures. Hope this helps.

Recently installed one in my car. It comes with the hook up cable that plugs into the XM harness under the left hand rear carpet.

The included cable is a dual adapter that allows both XM and changer to plug into the body harness. It dosen't matter if you have an XM module, just leave that socket empty.

Takes about a half hour to install. Piece of cake.

Unless that CD changer also plays mp3 cd's...As far as I know there is still controversy over this. Fred Bean's seems to indicate that it does...others say know. I'm still waiting to hear from someone who has it if they tried or not. Clearly, in my opinion almost $500 is too much unless it also plays mp3's [(6+1) x 12 hours=not too bad]. Although if the neucleus box referenced elsewhere on the forum works to control an ipod through the headunit that would be even better.

...I am getting mine from Fitchner...I think price wise they are the same as Fred Bean...but i really like the service Bob is giving...

As a return favor to my post I will make a point to test MP3 capability and will report accordingly for the benefit of the forum members.
