Multi CD Changer

[Eric94GT]

I'm just wondering what those of you with the multi-cd changers think of them. I have a pioneer deck and it gets to be a pain to change cd's when i'm driving down the highway.

Yeah MN Probe GT, I know about your damn minidisk changer :D I used to have a minidisk player/recorder and I eventually just bought a cd burner when I saw MD's werent going anywhere. I sold it to some sucker in the Phillipinnes for $200. I bought it 3 years ago for $220. He also ended up paying $100 to FedEx it down there. So he payed $300 for the damn thing!

cd changers rule!!! i really need to switch disks though... oh well, i say that you get one...

[Eric94GT]

I'm looking at this one on eBay. I'll bid on it right b4 it ends. Hopefully the other guy's proxy bid isn't too high.

Do you think this 6 disc one is fine or should I look for a 12?

[rebby]

i like my 12... does that one interface w/your deck?? i would be sure to get one that does...

[MN Probe GT]

You know what I have eric? an MD changer......:D
I like it because it's small. And I don't really need more than the 7 hours or so that it has. But I've gotten interested in MP3 players in the car.......nearly unlimited storage space.....

[Eric94GT]

yeah, i know you had a md changer. you told me at the midway and you also said something about cutting the back of the glove box out.

Yeah, as long as its a pioneer a 6 or 12 will work on my deck. the only thing is that I can find inexpensive but decent 6 disk changers but when I look for a decent 12 disk changer on ebay, they are around $200 which is money I dont want to spend on a changer (unless you guys want to chip in!) How much could I get a pioneer 12 disc changer for at BB with one of your guys discounts? 6-disc w/ discount?

[MN Probe GT]

I know that you knew. That's why I said it :D

[Eric94GT]

well, I won the auction that I posted above. Now why the hell wont this guy email me about it! I want my damn cd changer

I guess I should give him more than 5 hrs after the auction ended. :D $61+Actual Shipping is pretty good for a new pioneer 6-disc changer, isn't it?

[rebby]

yeah, that's not bad... does it interface w/your deck???

[Eric94GT]

it should. my deck had that weird looking plug in the back for a cd changer and this changer holds cd titles for on the display of the deck so I assume it will. If it doesn't, i'll just put it back on eBay and probably get more that I payed for it! :D

He wants $15 for shipping. In the page for the changer, it says "buyer pays actual shipping". Should I get him for this and tell him to go find out how much it will actually cost (should be hella cheaper, like $5) or give him the $15 cause im getting a good deal?

[rebby]

i think that i would just cover the $15 just to make up for the PITA of boxing it and sending it off...

[MN Probe GT]

They usually don't know how much it costs to ship it, so they just ask for an even number which will hopfully cover it.

[Eric94GT]

if you have sold on ebay, you know that you can choose between fixed shipping costs and actual shipping costs. he put actual.

i sent out $76 today certified mail so hopefully I get something back. :D

[rebby]

good deal... hopefully all will work out for you...

[Eric94GT]

Well my cd changer finally came minus a $40 cable that goes to the cd deck :Pissed: So I emailed the guy and he claims that the changer does not come with one, yeah right. So I went and mounted the changer and am waiting for the harness to come.

Thanks Jeremy for the advise on where to mount it. I barely got it in there above the Subwoofer. I was going to pull the subwoofer out of there but it looked like crap so I had to improvise. I ended up modifying the mounting brakets for the changer a little and here's the pics.

Now all i need is to run the wire from the cd deck to the back when the damn thing comes from Pioneer
