The problem with the 10 disc changers is that when you use them with the stock am/fm cassette radios, the discs above #6 will not be accessible from the stock unit. The button says disc 1-6, and it means it.... Just a consideration when you plan on keeping the stock radio with or without cassette.
In the Taurus RCU the threshold for the highest available disc # is controlled by the changer not the head unit. The button says disc 1-6 but it will go higher and will read disc 10 as "0", etc.Originally posted by 00Taurus@Mar 11 2004, 11:19 AM

I think you are wrong in thinking about the disc button from 1-6 working any higher than 6 discs on the changers...... I know because I tried a kenwood 10 disc changer first.....no go!!Originally posted by Twilight+Mar 11 2004, 07:46 PM-->QUOTE (Twilight @ Mar 11 2004, 07:46 PM)In the Taurus RCU the threshold for the highest available disc # is controlled by the changer not the head unit.

Most Ford head units control CD changers this way. The few that don't (Focus, Cougar I believe) will not allow you to select those discs but will still read them in sequence (disc 7 track 1 will come after the last track on disc 6).
A 10 disc CD changer will work fine in your car. In fact, there are a few manufacturers selling 10 disc changers for the Taurus. [/b]
