I have a couple that are supposed to go in a Bose Lifestyle 12 system. I know that alot of those cartridges are inerchangable. You could probably find one at Best Buy or something. I used to work for Bose is the only reason I have so many of them.

Maybe it came without one because the changer doesn't work well. That's common in these cars at this age. Mine is crap.

I ended up buying 3 magazines before I finally got the correct one for my SHOwagon. (Thanks to eBay, I was actually able to re-sell them and make a few bucks.) I don't know for sure it will work with your player but it's worth a shot. The wrong ones I bought actually were the exact external dimensions but grooves on the bottom of the magazine were different.

Another idea is to ditch the CD player altogether and hook up one of those interface devices that allow you to run an Mp3 player through the factory stereo. That's what I did. Now I have access to thousands of songs without ever going to the back of the vehicle!

I'm buying one from luigisho who has a non-functional cd changer in his 97. If it doesn't fit I might just look for an alternative rather than play the ebay cd-changer bingo... ;)

If the OEM changer isn't working well, there are some aftermarket plug and play changers. You might find a 10 vs 6 changer.

The cartridge from luigisho worked perfectly. (Your money order should arrive soon, thanks!)

The changer even plays burned cds without a problem so that's a bonus.

Sooner or later I might upgrade the audio system somewhat but for now it's nice to have a working cd player while I get the other preventative maintenance stuff done. :)
