I recently purchased a '98 Passat that has a Blaupunkt Heidelberg CD50 installed. In the trunk is the original OEM 6 CD changer (Panasonic?). The CD changer cassette is missing so I don't know whether it is hooked up or not.
Is is even possible to hook this CD changer up to the Blaupunkt Heidelberg??????

The OEM CD changer is not designed to work with any aftermarket Blaupunkt head unit.

Hi Mobile, welcome to the club from a Birmingham resident.


I have the CD50, and I had the same dilemma you're facing. I ended up paying $200 for the Blau CDC-A08 changer (10-disc), and it fits in the large rear cubby hole with only modest modification. The additional 4 disc capacity, plus extra features, were definitely worth the extra money.
