2002 CAMRY: Is it possible to have a 6 disc Toyota Stacker?

Macreative · Aug 25, 2002

I have the V6 XLE with the Navigation system by Toyota. The navigation and JBL radio are the same unit, both controlled thorough the Nav screen.

I was told be a few dealerships that it IS IN FACT possible to add the Toyota 6 disc CD changer below the center armrest or in the trunk or something. I forgot where they said I could have it installed but the fact is, they said it WAS possible even though I have a Nav / Radio JBL system.

The dealer I bought my Camry from told me that I COULD NOT have a changer installed because my factory Toyota Nav / JBL unit would be incapable of controlling a Toyota stacker -- they said it had no possibility of controlling one. I have to use the 1 disc in dash changer as found behind the screen.

So which is it? Does anyone know? Can I get a toyota 6 disc stacker without modifying the car or ruining my nav system?

Nobody seems to know!
Thanks all,

-Robbie.

Save your money and get an aftermarket add-on changer. It will go through your antenna signal and take over a station, (like 97.3 or so) all you have to add is the control screen which could probably go under neeth the HVAC controls.

If you can take you NAV system out and check behind the headunit, and if there's an empty harness open, then most likely you will be able to add a changer. Dealers can only assume one way or another without certainty.

Though the FM-modulated type changer is another option, but you will still need to access the antenna, which is behind the headunit anyway, so if you can add a changer directly without going through a radio station, the sound will be much better since FM-modulated units are limited by the tuner's capability, and FM band is only good from 30-15k Hz.

I think i'll avoid the modulated FM antenna thing. A frined of mine has had many problems with hers. It whines and all kinds of other weird things happen with it. I was hoping for a hard-wired solution.

Thank you for the input! You're much more knowledgeable than the toyota dealers!
