CD Changer for 2001 Ibiza - How to install??

[theturk1984]

Hi,

I have had my 2001 Ibiza for a while now and was pretty annoyed at the lack of CD player, so my father bought me a CD Changer for Xmas (Panasonic 8 Disk Changer).

However, I have no idea how to install it....

Can anyone help?

Perhaps provide a link to a tutorial with pictures or something like that??

Many Thanks

8 disc change? you only have 6 buttons

i know you'll need an adapter to make it fit. halfords for that

 

[theturk1984]

Yeah I know, about the buttons.

I told my brother (who bought it for my dad) that It would need to be a 6 disk one, but he went ahead and got an 8 disk one cause apparently "Its better"

But to be honest I dont know if it will even work... as you say there is only 6 buttons!

lol

i have wondered if a 12 disc would work. use each of the 6 twice. don't think it would.

try it, may get first 6 disc working, then have to let it run to end of disc 6 and see if it will automatically play disc 7. Not sure what the display would show.

Best bet is to ask your dad if he kept receipt and swap if for a 6 disc. If it won't work, then it can't be "better" than a 6 disc that would work

Doubt it will work as for there only being 6 buttons..
Best idea would be to visit halfords ..

Or connect a ipod/mp3 player/mobile phone

You can use a cassette deck which plays the files
Cheap to buy but very decent sound

Don't forget theres a Plug in the boot left had side...It might work but you probs wont be able to use 7 and 8 cd...

See if the plug matches up if it does ''just try it''

Not sure if they do a panasonic changer adapter pal?? have you found one yet?? i used to work for a shameful place *coughs* halfords lol and we used to sell the adapters but as far as i remeber they only did them for sony, kenwood, pioneer, alpine and jvc. Im not sure about panasonic mate, i could well be wrong tho, look on ebay, i got my adapter for my sony for about £11 delivered, in halfords the same part would have cost me nearly £50 lol

Mine has a 10 cd changer in it, when it gets to the 6th cd it carries on searching 7th onwards but just show it as cd 6 on the display, haven't actually tried putting cds in there though as i'm using an xcarlink for my iphone.

Really sorry to re-open old threads, but i was looking for the wire? and to be honest i dont see one/ or what i should be looking for.?
can anyone throw up a pic of where the wire should be?

thanks

Mine was taped behind the interior, just above the wheel arch, on the passenger side of the boot!

Think there is a hole close to it in the interior where it can come through.

If i recall correctly

 

[Finan]

No Luck in finding it there.

 

[cupra-gaz]

did you peel the passenger side arch carpet right back? should be tucked up in there, i found mine there the other day. im sure they all must come with 1 for the muti changer upgrade

gonna pull the carpet down 2mro in daylight/ plus it was raining 2nyt, so i probably did a rush check.
is it a simple plug in a cd changer and then it will register to the HU?

 

[cupra-gaz]

i would say its as simple as that yeah, though im in the process of gettin one but someone with one should be able to answer that for definate

I've been looking too, is there any chance someone could put a pic up of it. Cheers

 

[Bowen]

i dont think halfords do adapters like you require.

 

[Finan]

i think i found it, but is the wire suppose to come a tinchy bit? cus i cant get it out any further, kinda hard to reach too.

 

[TllEWL]

Not necessarily saying these guys are the best, or cheapest, but I think this is the adapter you need -

and yeah, I'd heard that if you leave disc 6 playing it will just load disc 7 (and then 8 in turn)

I keep looking but i'm not having any luck, how far up the arch is it? Is there any chance someone could put a pic up of it?
