Usually you get this sort of issue when you run audio signal cables allongside power cables. How and where is the changer installed? Another reason can be a bad earth on the head unit. Also you can buy coil supressors that can help eliminate this kind of issue but they tend to be used on older motors.

If you only get it when listening to cd's then id say its deffo an issue with the changers cables.
