I want to replace my factory radio with one that will have Sirius radio because I was sick of the wires all over the dash and my portible unit was stolen anyway. I want a radio that will operate my factory six disc changer. I called up one place and was told nothing will work the CD changer and that I need a new one. To me it's just a plug and there has to be a radio that will work it, but I know not all brands will communicate.

Any suggestions?

Nothing will communicate. Problem 1 is the Factory changer takes a 5V trigger from the factory radio. Aftermarket radios put out a 12 V trigger.

I recommend your choice of Pioneer P-bus radio - any radio with P in the model name. Then, a Pioneer 12 disc changer WILL FIT quite nicely where the stock changer fits with a little creative bracketry. Lastly, the add-on Sirius radio module fits perfect under the EATC unit behind the dash.

Wow ok man thanks for the info. I guess I'll have a 6 disc changer up here for grabs later.
