Hey guys. Im looking to add a factory CD player or changer in my 96 XL. If any of you guys that went with aftermarket head units want to get rid of your old factory ones that work fine, let me know. Thank you very much.

I have a 99, is that the same?

Do you have a CD player or the CD changer that came with the cassette radios? Can u take some pics of it for me when u get a chance? Take pics of the front and the back so I can see what the connectors look like. Thanx

Mine is a 97 with the six cd-changer (it has a cartridge you load the CDs in it, holds 6 I think). Its made by alpine and plugs into the back of the stock head unit. If you get no other offers, You can have it or both it and the head unit. PM me your contact info if you want it. I will send and just send me back the postage you see on the package.

Thanx Clementi, but the plugs are different.

Sickwilly, check your inbox. Thanx

My HU is the same size as a standard radio, and the CD player fits under it.

This looks a lot like my old one, but I think I had separate bass and treble controls (its at home): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Camry-Avalon-4Runner-Radio-CD-Cassette-Player_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1 247QQcategoryZ38640QQihZ009QQitemZ190218424695QQrd Z1QQsspagenameZWD1V

Damn, I am getting old. Here is my exact radio in a thread I posted when I did my install:

Someone else please help Mike out. I went to my garage to pack up the radio and couldn't find it. It turns out my wife weeded out my box of stereo odds and ends, including a couple of yamaha amps that were going to go in the boat this season. Sorry Mike! My wife has a away of accumulating a ton of stuff, then gets frustrated with it, and versus throwing her stuff out goes through mine and the kids stuff while we are not around, but runs out of gas before getting to any of her stuff.

Thanx for the help Willy. Really appreciate it. Lata

Just FYI, why d'you want these dinosaurs? I replaced them couple of months ago. It won't play any backup CD or home made CD, only playing the original CD. See my post on this forum for my new stereo system... Enjoy my pics.

Do you want to sell me that setup? I like keeping my cars clean and factory looking. Thanx

Avalon97 · 05-16-2008, 03:25 PM

OK, if you really want mine, please send me a private message. I don't want to step on the other people who already gave you an offer.
