As for the wiring, a wire is a wire in some cases, but what wires are we talking about here? You'll need shielded coax for the audio, just about anything for the control wiring, and a heavy enough wire for power to handle the load of the CD changer. Then you need to ensure that the wires are connected to the right thing at the other end, if they're plugged right into the stock head unit and you plug in a changer that uses a different pin out then you'll smoke something. I'm thinking you may want to leave this to a pro, unless you want to chance frying your equipment and possibly setting your car on fire. Either that or you have some homework to do first.
