Hello, I just bought a 1997 528i. It has the radio and tape player. There is a slot in the trunk for CD changer. Unfortunately, I don't have the owner's manual, so working blind as far as how to add a CD player. The radio doen't have a CD option, which was one of the questions an audio shop asked me. If I add a changer to the back, how is the changer manipulated? I've searched online and seen BMW changers for about $400 and an Alpine one for about the same amount (with adaptor cables). I don't want to order either one until I know whether I can integrate them into the existing radio system. If not, I would consider replacing the in-dash radio/tape player, but the radio works great and looks nice. Anyone out there with a similar experience who can point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Thanks!
