CD Changer work w/ Bose headunit?
I posted this in the electonics forum but thought I'd have better luck here. I have a 95-96 Bose system. A couple years ago the cd player stopped working, kept getting an error message and no sound (apparently a common problem). I know the system is pre-wired for a Nissan changer but was wondering if another brand would work with the face plate. I did a search and didn't find any threads on this. Does anyone know or am I stuck having to buy one from Nissan? The dealer said it could cost $200-600 to get the laser fixed. Also any suggestions on alternatives to this problem would be appreciated(i.e. good brands of in dash players and/or changers). Thanks.

It's kind of a no-brainer really, if you plan on keeping your car for any length of time: Either pay $175-200 to get your single play OEM unit fixed, or the same $ to get the versatility of a 10 or 12 disc changer. Hmmmmm. . .not much to think about, eh?
Check out www.crutchfield.com for some options.
What I'll normally do is, once I've researched & found the electronics I'm interested in, go to a price-bot like www.mysimon.com to find the best deal available. (Make sure you verify the merchant has stock b4 ordering, though)
Best of luck!

you can get a used bose headunit for around $150. You can pick up one of these chnagers for about the same shipped.
