CD Changer Operation Instructions

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Car stereo

Many audio systems, especially in models from the nineties, included a CD changer as an accessory, usually located in the glove compartment or in the trunk; the changer has a slot where CDs (generally 6) can be inserted, which can then be selected through the car radio controls; when a selection is made, a complex motorized mechanism inside the changer retrieves the CD from the slot and inserts it into the player to play the music of the selected artist: watching this mechanism in operation is particularly fascinating.
