With aftermarket cd player? will cd changer still work
On my 99 GS300 the green back light on the radio is starting to go out, so i was thinking of just replacing it with aftermarket double din cd,dvd player, or just another cd player, but I was wondering can i still use the factory cd changer if i went with a aftermarket system. Also if I was to just to upgrade and get like a navi system out of another GS would it be direct replacement?

When I installed my aftermarket Navi into my gs300 I lost both the Cd changer and the oem amp/Sub. I'm pretty sure you'll lose that function also as you install an aftermarket Cd/Dvd player. Thats just my head's up.

Spent alot of time at circuit city trying to install a cd player, still can't figure out which harness to use.
Stupid question, by losing the factory amp, how much power is lost from the audio system?
do people bypass the amp and not put in an aftermarket and the music is fine?

I am very new to this. and don't understand what you mean by "extend the wires", and use 2 toyota harnesses, you mean the same kind? sorry this is all over my head, but I NEED the cd player that plays mp3 or wma.

new in-dash unit
I installed a newJVC HD radio/cd player from Crutchfield. They supplied all wire harnesses needed to complete the install. I found an install kit on Ebay and it looks great!

I know that some of the Pioneer models that end in "MP" have the ability to connect to the EOM changer but I don't know if there is any special wiring needed or if the existing plug will work in the jack on the back of the aftermarket units. Somewhere on the site I remember someone from Ohio left a tread that they could do it for people for free but I can't remember where.
