CD Changer advice

Ok, so I have this pioneer 6 disc changer and head unit that was given to me by a friend who didnt need it. The trouble is, the head unit doesnt have its face-plate, and its an older pioneer model, so the model # isnt even in the catalouges anymore.

So, rather than finding a faceplate and installing the head unit (which would look goofy on my car's console anyways) I want to hook the CD changer directly to my factory chrysler stereo. I've seen it done before, my friend used to have a GMC Sierra, and a sony 12 disc changer wired straight to the factory GM stereo. (You set the dialer to a certain frequency which was reserved for the changer, and controlled it via remote control.)

I'm reluctant to take it down to say, Best buy or Ultimate Electronics, because I dont want to have to pay for something I could conceivably do myself. (Mind you I have a good understanding of electronics and electronic ciurcitry.)

The stereo itself is just a plain jane factory chrysler thingy from a 96' dodge stratus. I'm not sure how to take the console side panels out to look at the stereo, and even if I did, I dont think I would know what to look for.

Any advice?

Oh, BTW, the cd changer's model # is CDX-P610

heh I could use that 6 disc changer with my DEX-M88 player/controller heheAnyway the FM modulated changers of which you're thinking are a different model. They come with an FM-modulator that plugs into the FM antenna port on the radio as a pass-through, then you tune your stereo to a certain station, and the changer plays over the radio on your source unit only. Then you control the changer with a small hand held wired controller.you need this controller/brain, and modulator. Contact any pioneer dealer about pricing.-GlassWolf
