CD-Changer cable

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Matthew Fries, Dec 19, 2007.

  1. I have a 97 SC2 with an eq and the CD-changer in the trunk. Earlier
    this year, the cd-changer failed and it will no longer read any CDs.
    The head unit just says "ERR".

    I'm resigned to buying a new head unit, and I like having a cd-changer
    that I can fill with a wide variety of discs. I'm considering a
    Pioneer HU, probably from Crutchfield. I'm certain I can install the
    head unit myself, and I have no qualms about mounting a new cd-changer
    in the trunk, but I'm a little uncertain about the routing of the new
    cable to the trunk.

    Has anyone done anything like this? Will I need to tear up my car's
    interior just to route the cable? Where does the existing cable hide?
    Would I be able to keep it there, while I add another cable (in order
    to keep my car "stock")? I would rather not pay an installer just to
    run the cable, when I can do everything else myself.

    Thanks for any tips.

    Thanks.

    and I THOUGHT I had problems <snickering> ..

    Found my music in the early years (Skynrd, Seger, Tina, Cher, Fleetwood
    Mac, etc.) .. '98 SATURN has a casette tape player .. works for me.
    However .. in the "old days" .. 2001,'02,'03, I would just slide my 3M
    automatc tape cleaning head cassette in when I got the "CLEAN" light on
    my cassette player ... got that at WalMart, Walgreen's etc.

    They are no longer available; short of contacting the 3M Company and
    special ordering them <MAYBE??>

    Yes, I CAN grab some Q-tips and rubbing alcohol and manually clean the
    heads .. not an easy thing to do when travelling 70 MPH down the highway
    though LOL

    Gotta love "technology".
