The CD header unit and 10 CD changer are by Blaupunkt (IIRC, the
Sportwagon uses a Clarion 6 CD changer). You could find the systems
on the German Blaupunkt website (in German but not English). I don't
know if the website has changed or whether the UK website has been
updated. Unfortunately I can't help with the wiring, I bought my 156
new with the CD changer already fitted. The changer fits in a
'compartment' labelled 'CD' just behind the nearside rear wheel arch
(UK model); whether this compartment exists on models that have not
had the factory fit changer, I can't say.

I have the same Alpine CD changer as the early 156 fitted in my
Lancia. Got it from Halfords at half the price stated in the Alfa
catalogue!
