[s-cars] CD Changer woes - AGH!

[CLAG500 at aol.com]

The older Sony CDX-A.... models have a 13 pin cable like the factory unit not the newer unilink. (Should be a blue cable)My cdx-a100 plugged right into the tranciever box and worked with the factory in dash display and everything. Sounds like you may have a bum unit.
