It will not work, the DI has a Pioneer stereo and CD changer, the DII uses a Alpine and the DII with the upgraded stereo is a Harmon Kardon.

I am in the market for the disc cartridge for the DII. Mine was missing when I bought it. I have everything else, just need the cartridge that holds the 6 discs...lol

Any websites that sell them? Spike do you know which Harmon Kardon model it is?

The CD changer is an Alpine. I bought an Alpine CD changer for my RX-7 in about 1995, and it uses the same cartridge as the factory changer in my DII. You could probably find a cartridge online for a mid '90s Alpine unit. Tonight, I'll see if I can find the model number I have in my RX-7.

The only problem though is if you buy the cartridge how much is it going to be and does the cd changer even work?
If you buy the cartridge for $30 and the changer does not work then what?
You are out $30.
Personally I would buy a used known good working unit and swap mine out.

Yeah but it's 30 bucks versus taking the seat off, installing another one etc. That's a lot of work. I would rather just risk 30 bucks lol

I am running the IPod via the tapedeck now so it's not that big a deal. Just trying to keep things original.

Thanks for pulling the model number from your RX7 morpheus, that will be a good start for web searches.

Heck I might try salvaging some pawn shops.

Alpine cd changer model #5960 is what I have in my RX-7 and the magazine is identical to the Land Rover DII magazine.

Also, you don't need to remove the seat to take out the CD changer. You will need to remove the lower seat trim, both in the front, and the door side. I strongly recommend removing the relays from their mounting tabs so your hands get less scarred. I used a 1/4" socket wrench with extension (I forget socket size) to remove the 4 nuts holding it to the floor.

I've had my changer out at least 4 times in the past 3 years for various reasons, and can now get it out in about 10 minutes.
