I bought a sony 10 disk mp3 changer and and the interface adapter for my
taurus. It took about an hour to install. It's definitely an easy do
it yourself job. If you get a trunk mounted changer, mount it off to
the side. It you hang it in the center of the trunk opening where the
factory unit goes, you will regret it every time you put something big
in the trunk.

This is one route to go... but it will come out to a lot more than
$100.00...
