Tech: Swapping Sony CDX-805 with Sony CDX 757MX 10 CD Changer
I have a 1997 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series. I purchased it with
an after-market Sony CDX-805 10 disk CD player and JBL header. Although the changer system works ok with store-bought CDs, it skips and has problems loading CDR disks with MP3s. I was thinking of replacing the CDX-805 CD unit with the CDX-757MX, which I read accepts the CDRs with no problems. My questions are can I simply swap out the old changer unit with the new one by replacing the three connectors going to the changer? Or, do I need to re-install the whole thing with new cables and remote controls? (Also, do I need any special additional interface unit for this new Sony unit?) My current changer is mounted with a few sheet metal screws in the trunk. It has three connectors attached to it: the left channel RCA jack, the right channel RCA jack, and a black round plug that is VERY difficult to remove (I'm not sure if this has a special catch to it to remove...I'll give it a more concerted effort when it is time to replace the changer). The current set up also has a wired remote unit that comes out of the dashboard in the front of the car. I also have a wireless remote control. Thanks in advance for your help! Mike |
