If I remember correctly, this in dash CD changer sits on the bus with everythhing else in the car. if that is true, then you would need something to control it because it would go from: Radio ---- Bus ---- Changer for control. changer ---- radio for sound.

I want to replace my factory stereo cassette with a CD receiver. What size stereo will fit? Are there any pitfalls to watch out for? Also, I don't have a separate clock - the clock is in the stereo.
