I just got my RX8 w/ GT package yesterday, it's one sweet ride. It didn't come with the in-dash CD Changer, dealer estimated $640.00 to install one. So, I was wondering what are the alternative CD Changers on the market that would work with factory stereo. Please give me your thoguhts, thanks

Save 200 and buy it from Trussville. Then install it yourself.

640 to install is a insult
someone posted mazda 6 has same headunit as us
aftermarket isn't here yet

You could have an external changer installed with an FM modulator. I wouldn't recommend it though -- FM modulation is fine (IMHO) for "near CD-quality" sources such as XM Radio or an MP3 player, but no good for CD sources. I speak from experience.

follow up on jtdwab's post, $411.60 @ http://www.trussvillemazda.com/partsstore/index.cfm/results/mid/86/year/2004/model/RX-8 I wonder how hard can it be to install it myself?
