Disco II CD Player Question

Just bought a '99 Discovery II with 74K miles - incidently paid $12,500 US.
One owner, good maintenance records. Did I get an OK deal?

Anyway, my real question is it has the Harmon Kardon radio, but no cd
player. It does have the CD button, but nothing under the seat. I heard that
you can buy an Alpine CHM-S620 and a BlitzSafe interface LROVALPDMXV1 and
that will work. I really am looking to play MP3's since changing that
magazine is annoying. Any ideas if the radio will deal with that or if I can
find a CD/MP3 player?

Saw this on ebay, but am afrraid of scams:

Well, if the answer is no, anyone have any aftermarket cd players they put
in that still look cool. Bummer if I can't use the steering wheel controls!

have a look on http://www.disoc2.com
We've just bought a 2000 Discovery ll and some of our questions have been
answered. There is an article on there concerning radio/cd's and we have an
Alpine unit with a 6cd changer in it. We also looked under the seats and
couldn't find it, but we were looking from the front. Bruce found it under
the passenger seat, but from the back of the car. Hope that helps.

There is a guy who sells the mp3 player version on eBay all the time
and it goes for $310.00 ish us dollars. Most units are just plug and
play as the wiring on most discos is under pass seat and the radio
head has cd ready controls (as well as in steering wheel). Here's one
now...and always at your own risk of course!

Dying to know if that really works. Also if the names and all show up on the
display?
Anyone have this same problem?

Having the CD player in a mag under the passenger seat couldn't be more
inconvenient. At least mp3s can be loaded with 200 songs each disk so I dont
go undfer there as often.
