Sure, it can be done if you're a good hardware guru and experienced with microcontrollers. Plus you'd have to reverse engineer two changer datastreams and do bidirectional conversion. No small trick.

RE: MD: MDX-65 Changer
Did you find that price off of carmedia ? I couldn't find anything cheaper than carmedia myself, but I've heard of people complain about their customer service. wrt to your question, i believe sony's changer use sony's own proprietary connector so if your chrysler headunit wasn't made by sony, then you'd probably have to get adapters, if they exist. My mom is going to put a CD changer in her convertable, I convinced her to go with a MD changer. I found a MDX-65 changer on sale on the net for $319.99. Anybody know how good this changer is and will it work with a stock Chrystler head unit that has changer controls for a 6 cd changer out of box, or will I have to get all sorts of adapters. Someone let me know something so I'm better prepared to install the thing if we order it off the net. I know Crutchfield knows all that shit, but, they're too expensive. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: MD: MDX-65 Changer
=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === No, most of the other major manufacturers also make MD changers, but they are really expensive and really rare. So effectively, yes, Sony is the only company that makes MD changers... which limits my head unit choices to Sony, which is unfortunate. Does anyone know if: 1) Sony changers (MD/CD) uni-link can be adapter-converted to work with other manufacturer HU for cheap ? 2) Anyone makes a CD changer that buffers the signal so disc changes take very little time as opposed to the 4-5second disc swaps common in CD changers nowadays ?

Re: MD: MDX-65 Changer
If that Chrysler head unit can't control an MDX-65, you will need the RF kit and remote controller. The remote controller mounts up front and has its own display to control the changer. The RF modulator hooks into the antenna, and you listen to the changer by dialing in a specific frequency on the radio. Yeah, but, I'm not wanting to go the RF route. Few problems: direct antenna connection causes loss from antenna because of modulator Most of the time, they're set fequencies and you can get bleed through, although the modulator does cut it off, I've seen it happen FM audio is kinda bad Is it possible to use just the remote and use the RCA audio wires, nah, doubt it.

Yes, if there is such a thing as a CD changer emulator that works with that Chrysler head unit. What I mean, is something you plug in there that lets there stereo think there's a changer hooked up. That way, it will activate the RCA inputs. That is, if the audio inputs are on separate RCA's. I've seen some changer setups where the audio is carried along in the changer bus cable along with the data.
