CD Changer
- Thread starter lazerium
- Start date
I've just removed the CD changer from my 06 coupe and the part no. is 6512 6983335-01.
It's a bit of a job you're taking on as the area for installing the changer isn't easily accessed. Having done it once I could do it quite quickly but first time round you will probably take a few hours.
If you don't have instructions then these may be of assistance.
Here are the installation instructions:

Not mentioned in there is that there are 2 small screws near to the hinges of the storage compartment lid which have to be removed prior to taking the lid off. Once these are removed you will find the lid very stubborn to pull off and it feels as if it is going to break. It does come off with a bit of effort. Also beware of the micro switch for the storage compartment light. Part of it is on the rear console assembly and is very easy to break when you remove the console as I found out.
You will probably have to remove the boot trim to access the CD changer connections and these are good instructions for doing so:

Don't you need to modifiy the dash to install though? I thought the screen came up out of the dash top?
Im thinking of having a bit of a play with some toys for mine, I've already decided on the CD Changer and probably cruise but nav seems a bit too tricky for my limited DIY abilities!
