Eclipse 5083 changer installation

[donachiel]

I traded in my Avalon for my Tundra but first removed my Eclipse 5083 6 cd changer, amps and 15" subwoofer. I recently bought an Eclipse 5442 head unit and would like to hook up my changer but no longer have the manual for it. I hooked the head unit into the factory harness with a wiring adapter. I plugged the changer cable from the head unit into the changer but there doesn't seem to be any power to the changer nor does the head unit even see the changer from what I can tell.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx!

With my setup (Eclipse 5504 and 5962) there was a din-like cable that came from the headunit to a junction box and then another din-like cable went from the juntion box to the changer. The junction box had a yellow and black wire. The yellow went to power and the black to ground. Without the yellow wire being powered the changer would not work. So I believe this is where the changer gets its power from.
