Stock CD player

[Conti94]

I went with my brother a few weeks back and he picked up a 2000 LS V8 black. it's fully loaded, minus a moonroof.

Well it has a stock 6 disc changer, at least i think it does. Reason i ask is the CD player is not mounted anywhere in the trunk. It's just on the floor of the trunk. and cannot find anything back there that looks like it was once the housing to hold it.

Question is, where in the trunk would this have been? is it supposed to be on the right back side of the trunk like the Town Cars?

It was either the glove box or center console if i remember correctly.

But honestly even a cheap $99 deck would sound way better than the stock ever did.

Glove box.

Agreed.

Glove box, or center console huh? Then what the hell is this thing doing in the trunk?

That is what I am thinking. Putting in a different CD player should not be hard though. Just need to figure out where to mount it. since all the wiring is already there in the trunk. I got a few ideas. I could just mount a bracket above the top of the trunk behind the seats there are a few places i can see back there to mount a plastic housing for it so it is not bouncing all over the trunk. I am going look up dealer add on options and see if that is what it is.

Thanks for the info guys much appreciated.

I do have the working cassette radio, would you want the cd changer from the trunk as well?

Maybe 2000 LS's with a cassette in dash had an option for CD Changers in the trunk?

Yes. The base system had a cassette player in the dash and the CD changer in the (usually) glove box. Some were installed in the trunk.
