    HELP...NEED 1995-1998 E38 CD Changer

    DOES ANYONE have a cd changer from an E38 (or whatever other models may have had this changer) that they'd wish to part with, or have removed because of an aftermarket system ?

    My 1996 E38 is giving the dreaded "CD ERROR" message.

    Yes, I've taken it apart and cleaned the lens and it worked for about 2 days, then started the same S__T again !!!!

    HELP

    Willing to pay real cash

    ebay

    those things are a real friggin pain
    f'in e38's came with about 7 different changers
    it's trial and error too, you think you have the right one, and you dont and you keep ordering the little bastiches and your sales customer is getting peeved cause the car was supposed to have a changer and 6 changer models and a couple months later, viola

    you may be lucky enough to get away with using the pioneer 90 model instead of the factory.

    best of luck to you

    Oh great LOL !!

    I know for sure that mine is a Pioneer Changer, as I ran a search on the laser assembly on google for a replacement.

    Were there more than one Pioneer changer available ?

    Does it help if I say my car has the 14-speaker DSP system ?

    no

    The only thing I hate about e38's is the radio, especially DSP

    sorry man!

    Wait, so there's no way to fix this?
    I remember I saw a guide on how to fix them but now I can't find it.
    And since you guys say there a bunch of different ones. I don't know what to do now.
