Title: cd changer
Post by: Dan_GTi8v on 03 December 2011, 19:03

How do I install a sony cd changer into my sony headunit? I figured it would be pretty straight forward so got one off ebay with no instructions but now im looking at it thinking  :huh:

it has the 2 rca jacks which I know what to do with (I think  :grin:) but it also has some weird wire that I have no idea what is for, I dont have a pic of the wire as its in my garage at my dads but I can link to an ebay item with the same plug

what do I do with this is it a power lead of some sort or what?

cheers :)

That's what you need to connect directly to your headunit.

So, does anyone know of a Sony bus compatible headunit? :)
