Installing a CD changer[S70/1999] posted by Chris Moon on

i just purchased a new 1999 S70 GLT, which i enjoy very much, and i would like to install a CD changer that utilizes the changer button on the stereo dash w/o going to the dealer and paying the outrageous prices ($700+ i believe). i understand the stereo is from alpine so does anyone know if

1) it is possible to get a non-volvo cd changer that works w/ the changer button. i really don't want to use the radio to use the changer.
2) if so, what brands/model would be compatible/recommended and how much should it cost me (estimated).

in addition, i believe my stereo is pre-wired for the changer.
thanks!
