Will this changer hook up to my Bose unit?

Hi guys.

My friend just told me he had his old 10 dosc changer laying around and that we can throw it in my car if I want, so of course I said sure cause it beats the discman I got in there now!

Question is....
I have a '88 Camaro with the Bose system and the disc changer is the kind that hooks into the the stock tape deck and plays through the FM station. (sorry I forget the term) So will this work on the Bose system and also can anyone give simple instructions on how to do it? He no longer has the instruction.

*note: this is just a temporary setup until I can build a real system, I know it is hella lame, but it beats tapes or the discman, and its free.

Um, maybe if you'd give us a little more information, like what brand is it?

Basically, the big DIN cables can only be plugged in one way, and the same goes for the antenna jacks.

There should be three plain wires too. Yellow gets constant power, red gets switched power, black is ground. I usually hook the red up to the factory deck's power antenna lead, so the changer turns on and off with the radio.

On the sides of the changer, there are little adjustment levers or *****. These are for setting the unit up for vertical or horizontal mounting; if you set them wrong it will skip a lot.

I have an FM modulated Sanyo disc changer in my Jeep. I was pretty skeptical about the idea of running a changer like that instead of the direct variety but the performance impressed me. The sound quality is no different from a regular CD changer and the romte looks pretty cool at night.
