ALPINE 4905 — 6-DISC CD CHANGER MAGAZINE CARTRIDGE — FACTORY SEALED NOS
Genuine Alpine 4905 six-disc magazine cartridge, new old stock, still in the original factory shrinkwrap. Never opened, never loaded, never installed.
What this is: This is the replacement magazine (also called the cartridge or disc caddy) that loads into an Alpine multi-disc CD changer. It holds six standard CDs and slides into the changer body. This listing is for the magazine only — no changer unit, no discs, no wiring included.
Why sealed matters: These magazines are almost always sold used, and used cartridges are the number one cause of changer jams. The plastic disc trays warp, the spring tension weakens, and the loading tabs wear down after years of cycling. A sealed unit gives you factory-fresh tolerances and eliminates the guesswork entirely. Sealed examples are increasingly hard to find as remaining OEM stock dries up.
Fitment: The Alpine 4905 magazine is used with Alpine M-Bus and Ai-Net series CD changers, including many factory-installed Alpine changers found in European and Japanese vehicles. If your existing magazine is marked 4905, this is a direct replacement. Please check your changer's manual or compare against your current cartridge before purchasing — buyer is responsible for confirming compatibility with their specific unit.
Condition: New / Factory Sealed. The original shrinkwrap is intact. As with any NOS item that has spent years in storage, the outer packaging may show minor shelf wear, light scuffing, or slight edge softening. The cartridge itself is untouched inside the seal. Photos show the actual item you will receive.
Shipping: Ships free within the United States via USPS Ground Advantage. Packed with protection so the shrinkwrap and packaging arrive intact — the sealed condition is the value here and it will be treated that way. Ships within one business day of cleared payment.
