Um, no Actually I am sort of hoping for you to come up with a cool $5 PIC-based interface in the near future My experience with PICs is still next to zero, but I intend to learn more about them, e.g. by building a little development kit and starting off with a simple project.

I didn't know about the CD1/TR1. And what "running time" information does it send back to the player ?

The OEM display in my Clio's dash is somewhat limited, as it only displays track# and cd#, so no remaining time or anything. I guess the ppl of connects2.com have found a way to mimic a single cd with a single endless track. Once I select the cd changer as a source, the HU permanently displays "CD1 - TRACK 1".

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...

Somehow I am glad my display is limited
