Hey Guys;
I recently purchased a 1995 530i.
The previous owner had a factory 5 cd changer installed in the trunk.
I have loaded the CD's (face down) into the cartridge. but can't figure out what buttons on the radio control the CD function.
It is a standard cassette / am / fm radio console in the center stack with no "CD" markings on the face.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what switch / knob operates the cd changer?
Although there is an owners mnl., there is no radio operators handbook in the car.
I love the car, but am puzzled by the CD operation.
Thanks in advance!

B.G.

On mine the BAND button cycles between FM - CD - AM. When on CD, the preset buttons activate the corresponding disc and the FF RW slider switches the track.
