Awesome. Now, about the radio, can you take a picture of the radio with the car on and a CD in?

Also, do you have the amp under the driver's seat and the subwoofer in the back? Those are a dead giveaway that you should have a 6 disc installed in the car (from factory). I say that because it is very common for these stereo headunits to have issues with sound fade on one or more channels during CD playback and it's possible that the original owner had this issue and may have found a used single-disc at a better price and just decided to deal with it.

The answer regarding the sub and amp, and the photo of the radio face should provide the answer as to whether it is only a single-disc or a faulty 6-disc.

 

I can get a pic on here a little later. There is no amp or sub in the car though.

 

With no amp or sub, it's likely the car came equipped with only a single-disc stereo. The telltale sign of a factory-installed 6-disc system is the Rockford Fosgate sound package with external sub and amplifier. Not to say that it couldn't have been upgraded to a 6-disc later at the dealership, but it didn't come like that from the plant.

Whenever you get that picture up, that'll be the final confirmation.

 

^^^^this

I always thought you had to have the RF system to get the 6disc changer (assuming you didn't get navi)

 

No, there is an option to upgrade to a 6-disc player through the dealership, without having the sun/sound package. It does not include the sub, and there is no amplifier, so the sound quality is not changed, it just gives you an in-dash 6-disc option.

 

Notice I said 'Dealerships are idiots', not highly trained/over qualified/exceptionally talented/ all around good guys named Kyle....who happen to work at a dealership
And to re-iterate the fact:

 

It's actually starting to look like my grill was replaced. Found a smashed up emblem under the passenger seat.

 

no problem with mine either.

 

From the 6-months of experience with my 2010 RASB: if you have the changer (and not the look-alike-single-disk-player) the far right of the display has numbers 1 through 6 that light up when there are disks in the changer. If you don't show 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 then you have a single-disk unit. If you show some numbers but can't get the disks in or out, I suggest you pull the fuse on the radio, this may reset something inside the changer and solve your problem. One caveat: not sure if you need a radio code for these units, I know my wife's Pilot and my S20000 have needed the factory codes (six-digit number) to 'unlock' them after changing the cars' batteries.

As far as fog lights, I immediately put a yellow-tinted vinyl film on them to keep them from cracking should any road debris hit them. Plus I've always loved yellow fog lights so that's a plus too.

I have had zero issues with my car so far. (KNOCKING ON WOODEN DESK!!!)

Good luck to you.

 

No code needed for the new radios, thankfully Mitsu eliminated that pita around 2004/05. That is the reason why I ask for a photo of the cd player in-operation though. As mentioned, if you have a 6-disc, you will see a display on the right showing the numbers. That is the tell-all sign of whether you have it or not.

 

Sorry I haven't gotten a pic up. It was finals week at school and I've only been checking this from my phone when I'm at work. I'll try to get one up here soon

 

My 2010 does not have a 6 disc changer, but CDs don't work in my car stereo either.

A guy at the dealership told me that many of the CD players in Lancers are a problem.

 

^true. Usual defect is no sound out of one channel for the CD (only). AUX in and radio are fine.

meh. i just use the AUX input anyway...

I would look more thoroughly around the front end for any other damage that was not repaired from the accident.

 

Off topic, noticed you have an E30 M3. My fav car of all-time.

 

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted on here in a bit with an update. I did figure out that I have a single disc that just looks like it is the 6 disc changer. Thanks for your help.
