New headunit with existing cd changer?

[simon77]

Not to clued up on head units but is it possible to replace the oem headunit with an aftermarket headunit and still keep the oem 6 disc changer? The changer works well but the headunit is flakey. (Car is a Late 97 japenese import to NZ)

Cheers.

Hi

I encountered this problem and as far as I know, you cannot hook up an aftermarket head unit to the autochanger. I have just changed my head unit (mainly because I wanted to hook up a sub in the near future) and the advice i was given was that due to new head units being geared up towards MP3 etc the autochanger is too old a technology to be supported.
A bit like trying to hook up a parrallel Printer to a new PC.
So now I have a redundant autochanger in the back.
