COMPACT DISC (CD) CHANGER

SUBJECT: 1995 COMPACT DISC (CD) CHANGER

This bulletin supercedes any information you may have received (i.e. full line brochures, sales consultant manual, etc.) regarding the 12 disc CD changer for 1995 model year vehicles.

The 12 CD disc changer will only be available as a Retailer Installed Accessory (RIA) for 1995. The CD changer can only be installed in a 1995 Saturn Sedan or Coupe equipped with the AM/FM cassette with equalizer radio UU6. The CD changer cannot be installed in a Saturn Wagon, since the Wagon does not have a rear seat-to-back window panel assembly on which to mount the CD changer. The CD changer cannot be installed in 1991 through 1994 Saturn vehicles.

All 1995 Sedans and Coupes built before and including VIN SZ313310 require the installation of two wiring harnesses before the CD changer can be installed, except for VINs listed under "Pre-Wired Vehicles" in this bulletin. These vehicles were part of an early production build.

To assist Retailers with the installation process, both harnesses are factory installed on all Sedans and Coupes built after and including VIN SZ313311 that are built with the new UP6 AM/FM cassette with equalizer radio option only. The current AM/FM cassette with equalizer option code UU6 changed to option code UP6 on all Sedans and Coupes built with the factory installed CD changer wiring harnesses.

Coupes and Sedans ordered with any radio option other than UP6 will not be equipped with either harness. For Wagons, the AM/FM cassette equalizer option will remain UU6.

Details concerning the CD changer are covered in the following sections:

Part I MSRP and Suggested Labor Times

Part II Part Numbers

Part III Installation Guidelines

Part IV Waffanty Guidelines

Part V Pre-Wired Vehicles

PART I MSRP and SUGGESTED LABOR TIMES

The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the CD changer for a vehicle with factory installed wiring harnesses is $600.00. This price includes 0.4 hour labor for installation of the CD changer only.

For vehicles without factory installed harnesses, an additional 2.1 hours of labor is suggested. The costs for the two harnesses and additional 2.1 hours of labor are not included in the $600.00 CD changer MSRP.

PART II PART NUMBERS

Currently, three part numbers are required for CD changer installation on 1995 Sedans and Coupes built before and including VIN SZ313310:

CD Player Body Wiring Harness Assembly (P/N 2102219 1) CD Player I/P Wiring Harness Assembly (P/N 2102293 1) Compact Disc (CD) Changer Kit (P/N 21021174)

* Refer to Part V

On Sedans and Coupes built after and including VIN SZ31331 1, the only part required to install a CD changer on UP6 ordered vehicles is the Compact Disc (CD) Changer Kit (P/N 21021174).

Parts included in the CD Changer Kit (P/N 21021174) and serviced separately are listed below:

CD Changer (serviced with remanufactured unit - P/N 21043492) - 1 CD Changer Cartridge (Magazine) (P/N 16185621) - 1 Left Top Bracket (P/N 21023093) - includes weld stud 11503766 - 1 Right Top Bracket (P/N 21023094) - includes weld stud 11503766 - 1 Shoulder Bolt fitting into J-Clip (P/N 21075387) - 2 J-Clip for Lower Bracket (P/N 1 1509005) - 2 Screws to attach Lower Bracket to Changer (P/N 20472183) - 4 Lower Bracket Stud (P/N 21023095) - 1 Nut for Weld (P/N 21010736) - 2

PART III INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

The Saturn Compact Disc (CD) Changer Retailer Installation Manual will be published as a supplement to your Saturn Service Manual simultaneously with availability of the related components. This guide provides instructions for installing the two wiring hamesses and the CD changer kit.

An SSPO instruction sheet, for CD changer installation only, will be provided with each kit. This instruction sheet will identify all kit parts and installation procedures for vehicles only equipped with factory installed wiring harnesses.

PART IV WARRANTY GUIDELINES

The installation of a CD changer must be added to the vehicle's warranty profile to allow for validation and payment of subsequent warranty repairs. Specifically, each initial installation of a CD changer should be submitted as follows:

SALE TYPE LABOR OP CODE --------- ------------- Internal X0028

The CD changer is covered by the 12 month/ 1 2,000 mile parts warranty or the remainder of the 36 month/ 36,000 mile vehicle warranty, whichever is greater when retailer installed. (If sold over-the-counter, the 12 month parts warranty applies.)

Because the CD changer is included in the current radio remanufacturing program, remanufactured CD changers are to be used for all warranty repairs. Associated part numbers are provided below:

REMANUFACTURED P/N CORE P/N ------------------ -------- 21023492 21023493

Proper labor operation codes for warranty repairs to the CD changer and/or associated components are provided below. Refer to the Saturn Electronic Labor Time Guide System for corresponding labor times.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
