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 Alpine CD changer using this adapter is perfect for a low cost upgrade producing outstanding sounding results.

CD Changer Adapter Installation
Alpine 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.


Alpine CD Changer Installation
CD Changer installation is generally far easier than you would expect. Alpine CD Changers can mount in the boot, glove box or even under a seat and offer multi-angle mounting for installation flexibility. (Compare this CD changers dimensions with your available space)

Connection is via the included 5M robust data lead by push-fit connection to one side of the CD Changer adapter, and this lead is simply tucked under your interior plastic trim out of site. The other side of the adapter connects to the car wiring as detailed above.
