I've always had excellent luck with the Pioneer cassette head CD changer
units. I've installed 3 so far: my first (7200) was in my '85 vanagon
where I put the changer under the driver's seat and there is already a
hole under the lower right front area when you pull down the carpet to
bring the cable forward and run it under the carpet and then up by the
gas pedal. After that was sold in the spring of "94 for my current '90
Westy I puchased the Pioneer 8200 and mounted the changed under the
shelf in the cabinet under the sink. I still ran the cable forward and
under the driver's seat and out through the same hole up under the
carpet. The 8200 also has the luxury of a remote control so that when
you are camping and going to bed you can play music and then shut it off
from bed. The tuners are nice because they are preprogramed with all the
stations in the country and as you travel you can update your location
and scan your preferences in. Last year I sold my wife's '88 syncro
Quantum wagon and bought her an'88 wolfsburg vanagon and again put in
the latest cassette head/ CD changer Pioneer unit w/remote the
KEH-P8600 again with the changer mounted under the driver's seat. great
units and have never failed. I also pt one of the 7200's in my 914 with
the changer mounted in the front trunk.
