Was I supposed to get the appropriate Nav CDs with my car? The sales guy was clueless, so I thought I'd ask here. And how does one hook up a CD changer (and where the heck would I put one?)

 

If the car has the OEM NAV, it should have come with a set of CDs. Try to force the dealer in getting them for you, if not there a couple of set for sale on e-bay.

As to a CD changer, you have to get the Becker model for the Traffic Pro radio, which is what we have. Check with Becker America/USA. There is a thread hear on this.

The instructions for operating the changer are in the nav instruction book, but I've not seen a less intuitive system such as this unit. perhaps I'll stick with the maps in the glovebox...

And $500+ for the changer for which there is no room! Nothing like spending big bucks on old technology. Out comes the old FM transmitter I guess.

 

The Becker unit fits fine in the 'first aid' recess in the cargo area under the floor panel. It could also be mounted in the area behind the passenger footwell with the factory amp as there is plenty of room. You just need to pad it so it doesn't flop around.

NOTE: The Becker CD changer will NOT play the NAV discs. I keep only audio discs in the changer and keep the NAV disc for the western half of the USA in the head unit at all times.

The only reason I have a CD changer at all is so I can trick the unit into using the CD changer audio inputs (which I have my iPod cable spliced into).
