Hi,

I bought a Honda cd changer from ebay for my girlfriend's'97 Civic. I won't be able to test it for a couple ofdays, so I thought I'd test it in my '92 Integra first, because the back of my stock deck had the 8-pin input. I'm not sure if the tape deck has cd functions or not,but it has the input, and the bottom of the deck saysit's for an equalizer, a changer, or the little plug.For some reason, it won't fit in my deck. I figured all the 8-pin round cords were the same. Here's some pics below:
Here's the back of the stock deck:

Here's the cord from the changer:

Here's the extra cord that came with it:

Shouldn't this fit my teg?

Thanks!

If the front of the head unit does not cd or something like that tthen it will not work.  It must have a button to switch to changer mode.  Most likely in your car that is for an iso-mount.  Radio only on top and just cd on bottom, not changer

thanks matrix.

would you happen to know if when you mount this changer vertically or horizontally, if you have to change something on the side of the changer?  I have a Sony changer, and depending on how you mount it, you have to turn the 2 large screws on both sides of the changer to match.  The side of the Honda changer says LRH and LLH on the sides, but I don't see anything that "turns". 

Just curious.  Thanks!
