CD Changer: Description and Operation
CD CHANGERA factory-installed Compact Disc (CD) changer featuring a ten-CD magazine is an available option on this model when it is also equipped with the premium speaker package and a radio receiver including the CD controls feature. The CD changer is mounted in the cargo area of the passenger compartment on the right rear quarter panel.
The CD changer is connected to a take out from the right body wire harness and receives both ground and radio-switched battery current through the radio receiver. The controls on the radio receiver operate the CD changer through messages sent over the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The two-channel audio outputs of the CD changer are hard wired back to the radio receiver, which then outputs the signal through four channels to the power amplifier. For diagnosis of the messaging functions of the radio receiver and the CD changer, or of the PCI data bus, a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are required.
The CD changer can only be serviced by an authorized radio repair station. See the latest Warranty Policies and Procedures manual for a current listing of authorized radio repair stations.
The CD changer will only operate when the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions, and the radio is turned on. For more information on the features, loading procedures and radio control functions for the operation of the CD changer, see in the vehicle glove box.
