Hi, I have the same MS. There is a CD changer you can get that works with the controls on your headunit.
I found 1 on E-bay for under $40US, without a CD cassette, but I got a cassette from the dealer for $50US.
The dealer wanted $560.
The CD changer does not have to be from a MS, mine came out of an Eclipse.
There are 2 kinds, 1 goes in the rear. The other goes in the storage space behind the shifter. And your MS is already wired for both. To check, just reach in the storage space and push up or down at the rear, it should just pull out. The cable is in there, there should be a cable coming from the headunit going towards the rear of your MS with a a connector in reach.
If you get a CD changer for the storage space you would unplug the connector and plug in there. If you get a rear unit, the cable extends to the rear of your MS.
Just check out E-bay, the ones with cassettes can sell for as much as $400.
I see both types on E-bay right now.

Ok, I was finally able to get a cd player for the storage space up front but when I plugged it up it won't work. Is there something special i need to do? I found the connector in there and everything seems to fit perfectly but the cd player won't come on. Any ideas?

There are 2 plugs to connect. 1 is audio, the other is power. Did you find both? (Sorry, I forgot to mention that.)

No, I didn't find both but i do know why its not working though. What i found in the slave slot was two wires connected to each other. One side connected to the radio and the other going into the floor and i believe going to the rear. The problem is that the wire the goes to the radio has the same connector as the back of the cd player i have( they are both female connectors). Am i missing something, why would it be prewired for the cd player and not have the correct connector?

The one that goes to the back connects to the amplifier. Not sure but your CD Chenger should have 2 connectors so you can put it in the middle between the radio and the aplifier.

Sorry, but i don't have the infinity system or an amplifier. The cd player i'm trying to hook up is for the empty slot in the dash.
