Your best bet would be to find the CD changer the same as the brand of your radio. Such as Kenwood radio, get a kenwood CD changer. The factory CD changer will not work with most newer radios installed. And unless you like running wires to the back of your SUV it would save you lots of time to get another CD changer. That is what I did and it works just fine.
It depends on the make/model of the CD Changer. Most aftermarket headunits have a compatible manufacture made changer. If you do not have a compatible unit you can purchase an FM Modulator for that changer. The modulator takes the signal and broadcasts it over a radio frequency.
This depends on the type of CD Changer and the specific brand of CD player. Some might be compatible while others may not be. anonymous@oola.com

LOL that happened with my 03 too. i was told i can have ford take it out & they can send it to tha factory & repair it or you can replace it for $600+ or do what i did & got a aftermarket touch screen CD player for $400 & it sounds even better!
The 1995 C280 came with a tape player. There is an optional 6 disc CD changer that would be mounted on the inner side of the trunk if equipped. This was about a $700 option from the factory, only about 50% of c class' ended up with a CD changer. This part can also be dealer installed if not equipped from the factory.
Visit your local Best Buy store, they have a mounting kit that adapts an aftermarket CD player to fit the opening. They also have a wiring harness that plugs directly into the factory wiring. You will have to solder the wiring harness to the CD player, but this is the best way to go. If you follow all of the directions the install will look like a factory installation.
Factory cover housing should match with the rest of the vehicle. After market are always all black.
Depends on your head unit. If you have a factory CD controller (has a button that says CD on it), you will need a OEM changer unit and harness that goes from behind the rear seat to the changer. If you want to install a new radio, there are many options. Brian
I recently replaced the factory radio in my 1999 EB Explorer and, while the new radio had a CD player in it, I lost the use of the 6 CD changer in the armrest. Also, if you have steering wheel controls or rear seat controls, you may need to also install an add on, assuming the radio has an infrared remote control, to enable these controls. I also did this and it works reasonably well.I used Crutchfield and they are very helpful in answering questions you may have - you should try that also.bntdcarr@comcast.net
I have a 2001 MAZDA tRIBUTE WITH A FACTORY 6 DISK CD CHANGER. Can't get cds to load or eject. Radio and cassteet player work fine.
