Audio System Replacement

[2andfour]

Hello!

I just bought a '92 Q45 and am in love! Well...sort of.

The Stereo is missing the Sony 10 disc changer in the back.

I was wondering if anybody had any leads on a suitable replacement for the unit, or an aftermarket solution that does not involve replacing all the speakers in the car!

thanks,

The stock unit, like the one on my 91, has a DIN plug on the rear of the unit that was originally for the built in cell phone. You can buy an adapter from QSIGUY which is a DIN to RCA type connection. Once you have the DIN to RCA adapter plugged into the unit, you can plug in a MP3 player or something more modern into the RCA plugs. When the DIN connection receives signal, it drops the radio so you can listen to music from the MP3.

I have one! I have a 91 Q45 which I've owned for 15 years. Sadly, the transmission is failing, so I'm looking for someone(s) that might find value in its parts.

I see that you are in Canada. I'm in Portland, Oregon. If it's something that I can unplug from the trunk without any technical knowledge, I could ship it to you.

Let me know if you are interested and we can work out the details.

@ OwnerCS
this DIN to RCA type connection that you speak of...will it allow me to connect a more modern head unit without having to switch out the Bose speakers (which work flawlessly)?

this is what i am planning on getting to replace the stock unit...

@DQuintana If it's a Sony 10 disc in the trunk, then I'm in. PM me....we'll see what we can accomplish.

The DIN connection is an input on the existing Clarion/Bose head unit used for the CD changer input. The RCA adapter CS refers to is just a way to input another audio source into the existing head unit.
