Thread: MP3 car changer

for stock is tough.. really depends on your headunit.. See the problem with mp3 changers with non-mp3 decks is you can't see the id3 info. So you could have like 150 songs on a cd and be a bit lost. If worse comes to worse you could have it going through a fm modulator.

OK i guess they probably have all the id3 info right on the remote. That one has a built in fm-modulator. WHat system is in a 2k accord? Like i have a 98 explorer and there were like 4 different audio options to choose from. The problem is not controlling the cd-changer its getting the sound back into your deck.


edit: see most brands will only work with the same company deck with a mp3-cd changer option. I know JVC does this. Actually you'd be surprised if you looked around for an aftermarket deck. The one i have in my explorer people ask me all the time if it is stock or not.

ya see my edit.. its gonna be tough to find a mp3-changer that will work with a stock deck that is not fm-modulation.

It seems to me that if we can get our decks to treat our computers as changers, that we ought to be able to connect a changer to a stock deck that already has changer controls of some sort.

I havent seen anyone successfully get a deck to treat a computer as a changer. I've seen someone hacked the changer databus to accept audio input. Honda uses Alpine changer. You could probably buy a Honda to Alpine M bus changer adaptor and a M bus to Ainet bus adaptor and add the Alpine CHA S634 changer. But, I highly doubt it'll work.
