Install A Jensen 6 Disc Changer

Adding a Jensen 6 disc changer to your system will give you the flexibility to choose from six discs with a push of a button. With the use of an FM modulator, you can install the Jensen CD changer directly to your existing set up. Before getting started, find a location for the changer, like your trunk or under the front passenger's seat.


Instructions


1. Disconnect the car battery.








2. Run the cable from the Jensen changer to the back of your dashboard. Depending where you mount the changer, you might want to hide the cable under the carpet or run it along the door panel. Take some time before you mount the changer to figure out what is the best way to run the cable for your situation.


3. Remove your deck and the dashboard around it to access the back of the deck.








4. Locate the antenna lead plugged in to the back of your deck. Unplug it.


5. Find a good space to mount the FM modulator behind the dash and close enough to the deck to connect the antenna lead. You can secure the modulator to the inside of your dash by using two sided Velcro tape and place it where you need. Plug the antenna lead into the modulator's "Antenna In."


6. Connect the FM modulator to your deck by plugging the "Antenna Out" lead off the modulator to the antenna in on your deck.


7. Connect the two power cables from the modulator to your car's power. One lead goes to a constant source of power and one connects to a switched 12-volt power source.


8. Ground the modulator by running the black wire to an exposed screw. Wrap the wire around the screw and tighten it down so the wire doesn't come loose.


9. Reinstall your deck and dashboard.


10. Find a spot on your dash to mount the display unit. You can get creative and cut a hole in your dash and mount it that way or you can use Velcro tape and place it on your dash that way. Make sure it is close enough to the driver's seat so it can be accessed without having to reach too far. If there are loose wires hanging from under the dash you will want to tuck them under the dash and wrap them with wire ties.
