RE: MD: RF Car MD Changer?

2000-11-19 Thread Simon Mackay


=BEGIN QUOTE===
  Does anyone know if such a thing exists?  I recently purchased one of the
new Acura SUVs, the MDX, and the factory stereo is very much tied to the
whole functionality and asthetics of the dashboard.  The factory cassette/cd
in dash player is double-sized, and there are controls mounted on the
steering wheel.  I don't want to change the appearance of the dash or lose
the functionality of the steering whell controls, but for the last two years
I have been anticipating installing an MD player in the new vehicle I knew I
would purchase.  Now that I bought this new fancy ride, it's killing me that
I won't be able to have the MD option in it.  There are plenty of CD RF
(radio frequency) changers--you know, the kind that you tune in to on an
unused frequency of your factory radio.  But I haven't been able to find any
evidence that MD RF changers exist.  And if they don't, does anyone know of
any plans for one in the future?  How about some other workaround besides a
portable MD player and a cassette adapter?
END QUOTE==

Does the OEM head unit have an ability to control an optional dealer-fit CD
changer? If so, I would go to a specialist car-stereo dealer and find out if
there is a "protocol converter" available for that particular Acura vehicle.
These devices allow aftermarket CD changers to be controlled by
(obviously-incompatible) OEM car stereos that are equipped with CD-changer
controls.

If so, find out if it can work with all Clarion CeNet changers; Sony UniLink
changers or Pioneer P-Bus changers. If it then satisfies these requirements;
you may be able to use a Clarion, Sony or Pioneer MD changer with your
factory head unit and even be able to control it using the steering-wheel
controls.

OTOH, you may need to use the Sony MDX-65 MD changer alongside the RM-X69RF
changer controller / RF modulator in the traditional RF mode. I would also
find out if the OEM head unit does support an auxiliary input (perhaps after
a bit of hacking). This means that you can use the RM-X69RF controller as a
controller with the audio being fed into the auxiliary input.

This is because some people have discovered a 12-volt control output from
the controller's wiring, which opens up auxiliary inputs if the head unit
simply receives a 12-volt trigger signal; or operate a relay to "short to
ground" for units that "short to ground" their trigger input, or bring
signals away from a on-board sources to the attached changer in the cause of
units that loop the signal out via an outboard device.

With regards,

Simon Mackay
