Fwd: Wanted 96 Z3 CD-Changer

[Michael Reilly <mreilly@xxxxxxx>]

If you don't find a BMW changer (though I'm sure they're available 
from any number of dealers online) a company called "SoundGate" makes 
adapters that adapt BMW stereos to after market CD changers. I 
haven't used them, but saw them while looking for steering wheel 
interfaces for my new stereo.

Also, a side note here. While having a new stereo installed in my 
330Ci, I found that the BMW factory CD player and amp is OEM'd by 
Alpine! This is widely considered an excellent brand, in fact my new 
stereo is an Alpine head unit and changer, but with different 
features obviously. My installer got a prototype of a stereo dash 
adapter for the '99 3 series and up from some company, I'll see how 
it turns out. So far the biggest problem is the dash is at an angle 
and the stereo is naturally vertical, but the model I chose has a 
tilt function which should solve that problem nicely.

I'll provide photos when it's all done.
