Hey folks, just found this site and am desperately trying to find cd changer for almost mint 91q. Are the 90 thru 95 systems compatible? Bose head units interchangeable? Besides being a Q and Z fan I am a music/sound lover. Thanks for any assistance.

94 and up CD changers cannot be used in the earlier models.

I have a CD changer and all the wiring (though one seems cut) from a 91 that I wanted to use in my 94. After doing some research, I didn't even bother trying .

The 90-93 use a control pad, where the 94 and up have all the controls in the head unit.

Any chance of buying the 91 changer?

Sure, let me know.

One cable may need replacing, so I'll drop it to $75 shipped.

Wes - Can a '97 head unit replace a '94? Picked up a '94 Q45t, with a Kenwood aftermarket changer (that seems to work) but is not selectable from the '94 unit.

Car has unknown history - just bought it this week (so I'll be hitting up Joe for some parts...) and it's got 212K miles, but from the ride, and the smmothness of idle, you'd never know. Exterior is MINT (ok, so it needs a center cap for the factory mag wheel...) and interior looks like 100K rather than >200K. Rear Bose speakers blown, but amps are OK.

In the spirit of remaining as close to stock, are the pinouts for a '97 (or later, without steering wheel controls) compatable with the '94 wiring? I can live without a changer, and the single built-in one would be fine...

Thanks for your insight!!!
