Just wondering

 

like in dash ? ... not really

 

huh

i mean like factory unit with equalizer and the whole 9

 

i wanna rock the stock stereo... mine works, the screen doesn't light up.

 

+1

 

what years did they start putting the cd players on

 

My 1987 TII has one... had the price on the original window sticker for around $700 for it to be added on as an option when the original owner bought it. **** still works great and sounds awesome! *knock on wood* but no skipping issues or anything really. I have no plans to change it as of right now b/c its got tape, radio, and cd! lol. But it will only accept Sony CD-R burned cd's with no problems. Anything else it won't read. I like it and hope it works forever. lol.

 

didn't some oem come with a cd changer in the rear driverside compartment? i remember my last fc had one

 

cool bro i think i am getting rid of mines then i thaught they were rare since i never seen them in a actual working car

 

if you switch CD players to aftermarket you have to put in a rely for your anttena or it wont work right.

 

I've seen good condition OEM CD players fetch ~$200 on ebay. Then again I've seen them advertised here for ~$40 with no takers, so I dunno. I've got a spare S5 vert one for when mine craps out but they are pretty cool. First triple media stereo unit I ever saw anyway...

 

i have one too for sale; but i haven't posted it up. I wanted to use it but I remembered I'll be putting a wide band in the din area, so I have to go after market.

 

I was thinking about trying to pick up a stock CD player for my S4 so if ya'll really wanna get rid of one, hit me up!

 

my factory cd player skipped if you looked at it funny, and back in the day would I could not get it to play a single recorded CD.

 

ahh so that's why.. and how may i go about this?

edit:
i just saw the faqs but i honestly don't know how to do any kind of wiring

 

ahhhh but no mp3 compatibility. the prior headunit i put in my benz had a usb port which i used to rock 2gb memory sticks with mp3s and never had to burn cds again.. was awesome

 

i had a 90 with a working factory CD player... sometimes it would play burned CDs!

 

Sometimes I have to fool mine with a regular CD before it'll accept a burned one.

Some CDs just won't play no matter how many times I shove them in, lol.

 

... realy i dont know i haver a brand new factory antanna and i havent wireed in a relay yet so it just sits there.


basicly most aftermarket antenna use a prositive signal for the antenna where as mazda for some stupid reason uses negitave. i might have those reversed BTW.

 

i have one and i like it. plays burn cds too!

 

I don't use the antenna that much, so I just wired up a switch between the antenna and a ground connection. Works well enough for me, I just have to flick a switch and the antenna goes up.
