Thanks for the details, mox. By the way, do you have more information on that D2B format and that "specific data" needed ?

This is one of the purposes of the Connects2 adapter (VRNX001). It mimics a cd changer (1 cd, containing 1 track ) so the HU will enable its SPDIF input.

I didn't know about the CD1/TR1. And what "running time" information does it send back to the player ? I mean, when does the head unit know that it has to change track or disk ?
If the changer operates stand-alone in that regard, and the head unit only displays the cd#/track#/time info without interpreting them, that would be cool because we could send other informations to the display (time 12:34 could mean 12st album by artist number 34..., etc).
Might be worth thinking of it...
