Honda CRV installation of an OEM compatible CD changer (car audio)

BACK TO DIY 2000 TECH SUMMARY

Introduction:
This is an autotoys.com installation. One of several hundred by the staff of autotoys.com
This article is a sample of knowledge gained by working on real cars for over 25 years.
Online for over 17+ years, when you buy a product from us, we give you real support when you need it.
Instant access to answers through our customer forums. With thousands of customers, avoid delays, errors and miscalculations in your installation.. buy from autotoys.com - your outlet for car audio, car alarms and auto accessories.

Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors, radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront). Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront). Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer products.

Sales People (be careful!):
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords, questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple.. the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person) with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.

No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever! They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake! Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with the newest products.

HONDA CRV CD CHANGER See our other CRV installations for our AUTOTOYS.COM plug in 6 disc CD changers to factory radio. Also see our CRV installation of an aftermarket Blaupunkt radio in a Honda CRV. See our HONDA CRV alarm installation. We revisit this 1999 CRV when a customer of ours wanted a 10 disc CD changer controlled directly by the factory radio. Now how can a 10 disc changer work with any Honda or Acura radio when the factory radio and factory manual says it will control a 6 disc only. Our EXCLUSIVE AUTOTOYS.COM 10 disc ACURA/HONDA CD changer has computer circuitry which will allow you to directly access all 1-6 disc and direct access to disc 7, 8, disc 9 and disc 10. It will also show all 10 discs on your display. ONLY our AUTOTOYS.COM 10 disc Acura / Honda OEM compatible changer will do this. We work with the products we sell, so we know the products we sell work as specified. If you buy from any 'store' that are employed by 'sales' people instead of 'installers', you are taking a chance. Do you want to take that chance and 'pay more' for it as well? Our OEM compatible changers all come with free shipping in one package and includes everything you need. Only! at autotoys.com have we been running tech articles for over 7 years! We are a company founded by installers.
