Default CD Changer...

My recently aquired 1993 XJ doesn't appear to have a CD changer, although the radio seems to have a provision for one. It either never came with one, or it has been removed. I am wondering if I should bother to look fora factory CD changer.Are the factory CD changers ok? Or would I be better off to have a high end aftermarket CD player installed? Would like to hear from anyone who's had this decision.

I don't recall the number, but either Alpine or Pioneer make a direct fit unit. The wiring will go straight in with no mods. After 98 you must be the factory unit.

Thanks Ken. I had my stereo guru get me a nice new Sony todayand it went straight in. Once the factory radio comes out, the faciahas a standard cut out so the new deck fits perfectly although the new unit sits slightly recessed, and not curved as does the stock unit.Overall it looks really good. All up cost for a new installed AM/FM, CD, MP3 & satelite ready system under $200.00 Cdn. I'd highly recomend this swap to anyone considering it.

BTW Ken, do you guys carry those weird little parts like the black plastic insert for the interior door handle, or the covers for the headlamp washers? Drop me a line if you do and we can do some bizz. rkieken@yahoo.ca
