    Does anyone have experience with installing/upgrading to a 6 CD changer? Is it easy or very difficult and if it is the original Toyota part will the MFD then show all 6 CDs as it does in #9?

    Thanks. Great pic. I like the wood. I would rather have the new changer replace the original one in the same spot.

    I have 06 pkg 3 type 2 radio. I installed the cd changer and was not too difficut after figuring out how to dissamble the dash. Everything works, except, I cannot get the MFD to show the track# or disc #. I used cd changer PART # 08601-47800 with wiring harness PART # 08695-00370

    You won't see the disc # that is playing on the MFD - I think that the operations guide accompanying the CD changer infers you won't (it states what you should see, and doesn't mention the disc currently playing) - no biggie though - all you have to do is look at the light panel on the changer. The Track # is another story - I am told there is a second wiring harness required to carry the track information to the MFD and am currently working with my dealer to get this installed.
