Removing CD Changer

After posting a reply to another thread, I got to thinking (always a dangerous thing) that maybe I should get a set of RoadsterBags for weekend trips with the wife.

The problem is, I don't think they will both fit if I have the 6 Disc CD changer installed. But that got me to thinking about removing the CD changer. Since I got the Bipes MP3 adapter I never play CDs anyway. The question I have is do I have to do anything special with the Fiber Optic connection at the CD changer or can I simply disconnect it? I understand that the D2B Fiber Optic system is a loop so I'm not sure if disconnection of the CD changer will render my Phone inoperative because the signal is not routed correctly.

Yes, disconnecting it will render your phone inoperative. You'll need to reconfigure connections at the phone and head unit.

Thanks Dick. Somewhere I've got a PDF copy of the Star Bulletin that talks about the D2B system, I'll see if I can figure it out.
