Why keep your factory radio?

What is a CD Changer Adapter?
CD Changer adapters are small electronic control units or converter leads (dependent upon vehicle and radio) and their approximate sizes are (L80mm x H35mm x D55mm) for the box type or (L160mm to L400mm) for the lead type. CD changer adapters are a simple way of connecting and controlling an aftermarket CD changer (such as Alpine, Kenwood, Sony) from your Factory installed radio.

Simplified, your factory radio talks a different electronic language to the aftermarket CD changer. So the CD changer adapter simply translates this so both components can communicate and work in synergy.

So if you already have a Clarion CD changer using this adapter is perfect for a low cost upgrade producing outstanding sounding results.

CD Changer Adapter Installation
Clarion CD Changer adapters install at the rear of your radio or onto the pre-wired CD lead (if applicable) for your particular car make and model and the CD Changer connects to the other side of the adapter by push-fit connection.

Adapter installation to the car wiring is either by push-fit connection (in the majority of cars) or alternatively by connecting 2 wires from a choice of 3 sources (earth, 12v or 12v switched). To aid you with installation comprehensive installation instructions are included.
