My guess would be Fujitsu Ten. They are the parent company for Eclipse here in the US.
Would anyone on here by chance know what type of radio Toyota uses as a factory tape deck in their 2000 Toyota Corolla's?
The tape deck has a CD Changer Controller built into it and I want to try and see if I can use that for my mp3 setup.
Any suggestions, or answers would be appreciated....

Actually im a toyota fanatic myself. My family owns a Celica and Tacoma and my dad finances toyotas. To answer ur question they make a little adapter that plugs into ur factory stereo that has a CD changer connector and two auxilary inputs. I have been told that u can just plug this in hook something up to the two RCAs and then just hit the CD button for Aux input. I plan on doing a carMP3 for my tacoma soon and would like to know ur results with the adaptor if u choose this method.

here is the link where u can get it from crutchfield ( a very reliable car stereo dealer )for $50.00.
Toyota actually owns 50% of Fujitsu Ten. Eclipse is their specialty line here in the US but they market some products under the Fujitsu brand as well. About 90% of factory OEM Toyota audio equipment is made by Fujitsu. However some of it is made by other companies including Panasonic,Alpine,Pioneer,Nakamichi etc.... As far as aftermarket changers you can buy protocal adapters from several different companies to allow integretion of most of the popular changers. We mostly use the Panasonic changers which have rca's seperate from the din cable so adding an aux type source is easy but you will have to have the changer connected for the head unit to go into changer mode and allow the sound to go through. Also Soundgate has a newer protocal converter for BMW that connects a P bus Pioneer changer. The cool thing is that the converter box has rca's and a trigger wire built into it for doing an aux source such as a MP3 box. You do however have to have the changer connected for this to work. The guys at Soundgate are working on building a black box that will trick your radio w/changer controls into thinking the changer is connected and allow audio input. Its about time is what I told them. They expect to have something for the most popular radios first. Jason
