I bought a 95 Aurora w/12disc factory (Delco) cd changer. It is missing the cartridge. Any way I can match up the model #'s and replace the cartridge? And how will I know it is the correct cartidge?

I bought one years ago at Best Buy.
Pioneer Brand - for about $25.00

Don't know if they still sell them -
I would try an audio store b4 the dealership because of the price differential....

A Pioneer Cartridge fit a Delco changer?!!!!! Hmmm

Well I gladly spent the money to get the part from the dealer!!

Can't speak for all years - but the unit in my '96 Aurora was manufactured by Pioneer and rebranded by GM as a Bose / Delco unit. That's why I purchased a pioneer cartridge - it's the exact same thing...

(Sort of like calling a generic GM engine an Olds Rocket engine)

Interesting fact, I'll have to remember that when or if I have to change my cartridge.

I bought one for the car @ a dealership and the changer is giving a e-30 error (focus error) I guess I need the actual changer(player)

Probably cheaper to replace it with a full blown Pioneer changer

i wonder if the changer would work with a pioneer head unit

You'd think so, but then you would need the adaptor for the steering wheel controls, and does Pioneer make an HU that would fit the opening?

Bose..Pioneer..Delco... :silly: coulda made it a lot easier with one brand
