Is there an adaptor cable to go from an oem radio/cassette player to an oen
cd player? (Both Toyota oem manufactured by Fujitsu Ten.) Or, does this
upgrade require splicing/soldering/etc.?

Thanks much.

If you have a Fujitsu Ten radio, and a Fujitsu Ten CD player, the player
should have a cable on it that terminates with a MINI-DIN connector. Every
Fujitsu Ten radio I have seen has a matching input on it. Connect the
cable and the radio should recognize the CD adapter.

That may be true, but after buying three OEM Fujitsu CD players for an
older Camry, I finally quit and purchased a new Alpine unit from
Crutchfield.com including an MP3 player. Cost around $120, sound is
superb, and no problems since.
I really like Toyota quality, but this is one area where I finally
went aftermarket and am pleased with the results.

What kind of problems did you find with the OEM players?

Sir,

My existing harness has two dins for my existing radio. They get plugged in
next to each other. The back of the CD player has 3 recepticles/outlets. So,
assuming that all 3 need to be filled, where does the 3rd plug come from?
Must I split the existing cable wires?

Thanks.

Paul

The OEM CD player add on has a short pig tail with (depeending on year a
round (before '97) or a square plug for the CD). Take a look at the units
depicted on www.OEMVALUE.com. The Toyota single CD player is trouble
free -- not so with the 3 CD changer.

See the reply to this below. Can you go to the link and pick out a picture
of your unit, and then post the correct link here?
