FM CD Changer

I have an 82 GSL with the Clarion head unit with the tape player, equalizer below, the two amps, etc. I would like to keep what I have (like the look), but would like to add a CD player. I tried a personal CD player with a cassette adapter, but the cassette player just keeps reversing back and forth (a complaint I've read in other threads). I know Panasonic, Sony, and maybe some others make CD changers that are hooked up to the antenna lead, and play through an FM frequency, Just curious if anyone has ever tried one of those, and if so, did it work ok?

Thank you. I'm not really that much of an audiophile, but I would like to get a fairly decent sound. I might just have to go for it. Thanks again!

I got a cassette adapter for my radio so i could play songs from my ipod through the speakers in my 7. I like it keeps it original and sounds good. You can get them at best buy

I did try that. The darn tape player keeps reversing every few seconds, which in itself would be okay, except when it reverses the volume goes up and down with each change. If it were not for that, it would sound pretty good.
