Chris,
I have to disagree with you there.  Bruce has a 93 (? or is a 94) which
would use the 10-disk changer, whih I certainly don't regard as a "small
number"  of CD's.  Also, mine has bean dead-nuts reliable for the last
2.5 years after I bought it from Bob Pastore, God (well, and perhaps Bob
too) only knows how long it had been used before that.
However, it wasn't cheap and if I were going to redo everything today, I
would probably talk to Bill Mahoney more about his iPod solution,
however i am pretty anal as far as keeping everything sort of factory
looking and have a personal pet peeve about non-factory displays etc.
Somehow it just bugs me aesthetically, I guess.  That is why I like the
factory 10-disk changer, especially with the IC display.
At the time I was lucky to find the changer and I am glad I did, like I
said, it has been a very positive experience without any problems.
YMMV.





Ah, Jim, if only I had the same fortune!  I go out and buy one out of a
lister's car, let's just call him E. Walsh.  No, too obvious.  Ed W.  Yeah,
that's better 8-).  I do so as I NEED the IC display
modulatortransposerthingy, despite the fact that I have no less than TWO
perfect clone Sony 10 disc changers laying around.  Like a fool, I sell one
to fellow lister Aaron T. on the cheap, and the other went with my 2.3-16,
figuring, ah, there's no way I'll ever need them.  BAD DECISON Paul
(typical).

Now, mine's F'n the pooch (similar to the images on Charlie's site...
hellhairyass) just like Bruce's.

F   U     Ed!!!!  That's it, you can pay for the repairs outta your
commission on my kid's (whopping) 529 8-).  I shoulda bought Pastore's
;-)...

Seriously though, anyone have any BTDT WRT having these repaired?  Like Jim,
ideally I'll retain my OE system.  My $'s better spent on other ludicrous
gofast stuff anyway.
