[mkiv] CD Changer

[Thomas Bradley]

Dean,
There's no CD Changer for any Supra afaik and there is no Bose upgrade either, they're all Fujitsu-Ten afaik and there are 3 different Deluxe models which are all interchangeable. 
Does or did your Supra have the big black factory amplifier under the passenger seat, and did it come new with the factory subwoofer in the hatch right behind the back seat? 
a.k.a. is it an N/A or stock TT Supra? 
 
If your car doesn't have the stock amp and there are no wires poking up out of (or buried beneath) the carpet at that location then you can't use the factory double-din Tuner/Tape CD head units in your Supra.  If you have the amp and harness under the passenger seat then the Deluxe double-din units will work. 
 
Just don't be expecting too much from it and don't go spending a fortune on one, like I'd stay under $100 even if they say it works perfectly. 
The CD player doesn't track very well if you have upgraded suspension, there's no skip protection whatsoever, and with the targa off the car those stereos are basically useless. 
 
The one out of a 92 MkIII Supra is the same as the one that your car came with new if your car does have the amp.  It looks just like the 91 Supra stereo but the 91's deluxe stereo won't plug into the 92-98 deluxe harnesses.  Yes, you can connect and mount the deluxe 2-din cd/tuner/tape stereo from a 98 Supra in your car as well if you have the amp but it's not much better than the one your car would've come with new. 
 
If you can find one for $100 or less and you just really like the clean stock look then it's probably worth it, although don't be suprised if the CD player has problems and the fm stage is low and noisy too, and if you're looking for a system that can still be listened to with the targa off the car or the windows down on the freeway then don't bother with the stock system... 
 
If your car has the amp and harness I have one or two of the right unit for your model year if you really want that stock look but they do have issues...  One drops the left channels out at random and one has a shattered display but still made sound last time I tried it, and I'm not sure what's up with the other one at this point, it may actually mostly work...

Does anybody know where I would be able to get an OEM CD changer/audio head
unit for a 1994 Supra (without Bose premium upgrade)?  Everywhere I searched
only has the unit for the MKIII.

Thanks,
Dean
