Title: CDR500 what multi changer?
Post by: Ken L on 28 September 2009, 19:17:48

I've just replaced the car400 with a CDR500 single cd player and I think it has CD changer ability, if so, does anyone know what changer is compatable with it please?.
   Also, when we came to swap units, there is a set of wires with multi pin connectors similar to the ones for the radio back there, does anyone know what these are for please?

I don't think the 500 has changer control and the extra wires are probably for steering wheel controls.

No changer compatibility on cdr500

Yeah, Thanks guys, We fittied the radio outside the guys house I bought it from at night, so I forgot to check if it had changer controls, I had seen a couple for sale on ebay that said they did, but I didn't recall seeing a connection.
  The steering wheel connections are are all ok connected and working, these other wires are something else, it's like there are two sets of radio connections.

The 500 also has a phone "input" pair and phone mute, so that would explain 3 of the extra wires.

Most cars are fully wired for changers, even if not fitted, so any length of loom will have all wires.  Also, it may or may not have a Traffic Master loom :)
