Default How do I use the cd changer?

My '96 didnt have a cd changer, so I found the adapter in the trunk and it plugged right up to my old alpine changer from my '96 civic, it has power to the changer (Im able to eject the cds), but I can seem to figure out how to use the chager with the Delta Bose headunit, when I press the "mode" button nothing happens. Am I missing something here? The cd changer plugged right into the adapter and has power, what could be the problem?

Default Sounds like it doesn't recognize the changer.

You could try borrowing one to see if the wiring is working correctly, but it sounds like your changer is either broken or not compatible.

Default Is his 98 running the Concert head unit or Delta?

Yours is Delta, correct? If the head units aren't the same, then it makes perfect sense that it would not work.

Default You're SOL , You can only use the Audi changer

Nothing else works. This qustion has been asked 100 times.


If you want the Audi changer check E bay, they are $$$.

Or do what I did, retrofit a Concert and an iPod.
