Mp3 CD Changer

Hey guys,
New to the forum.. Did a search, found a thread, but only one mention of a new Sony DVD/CD Changer. I don't need DVD, but I'd like a cd changer that connects to the bose head unit and supports mp3? Such an animal exist?

I have a 97 GLE, all options with the bose setup. I don't really feel like ripping the whole bose setup out (I did this on my 300zx)..

My max is my daily driver. I'm getting close to the end of building up my weekend warrior, a ~600+ bhp 300ZX twin turbo.

Thanks in advance.

there is such a thing as an mp3 changer. look at crutchfield. its a changer thats about 6" x 6", and uses postage-sized cards to hold the mp3s.

Re: Mp3 CD Changer

I am driving a '97 SE with Bose system also, and I was looking for the same thing. As far as I know, most of the after market (Alpine, Kenwoood, Sony) changers won't work with Bose.

So I think we have two options:

1. get a FM module type changers, ~$300
2. get a juke box 20 gig @ $200 at EBay. then buy a car kit from Radio Shack.

So far, I think option 2 is better.

Changer that play mp3's are a waste. I have the 40 gig mp3 system in my car. Have had it for over a year. Come to think of it i may be the only one on the board with a serious mp3 system. All i can say is nice. No cd to deal with. Who the hell wants to burn their collection to mp3 cd's. Whats the point? I have over 3000 songs on my player, plus a backup of my pc on it to. Soon to put a sleave in the wife's car to be able to swap easily between cars.

i wish the remote were large and i could see MORE files at the same time. makes it easier to scroll, find track, etc.

but this stuff is definitely on my want list.
