I could use an after market CD changer.

But what is DSP???

i got one for sale in the classifieds.

it will work in your car 100%. it was installed in my 97 328is which has i Bus. its an alpine changer.

im selling it for $130 shipped. with everything needed for the install.

let me know.

[Lawrence1]

btw ... im selling mine with the blitz adapter you'll need :) and E36s don't have DSP.

Actually i think it was your FS post that i found it all in.
Unfortunatly $130 american is over 150 canadian, then shipping and duty at the border. In the end it will be well over 200 canadain for me.

But thanks for letting me know about the DSP

$130 for the alpine changer and the blitz adapter is a great deal.

I just bought the alpine from Crutchfield for $180 and I had to pay another $79 for the blitz adapter.

I wish I saw Lawrence1's post before I puller the trigger.

[Lawrence1]

hey it's all good ... wish you were in the US though.

but at least you know what to look for now. :)

I think the stock e36 Alpine CD changer is part number 82110028760. You'll also need the mounting bracket and the cover.

It should plug and play. When the head unit died in my son's 98 323is, we replaced it with a Sony in-dash CD head unit. I took the Alpine changer and plugged it into my 01 e39 530. Works perfectly.
