phillips changers only work with phillips radios (D8) and clarion changers (some sony and blaupunkt too) only work with clarion radios (D9)

That's a bummer, I was hoping to change out the head unit in mine too, the sound level has a mind of its own; I guess the amp is on it's way outjameslxdt wrote:phillips changers only work with phillips radios (D8) and clarion changers (some sony and blaupunkt too) only work with clarion radios (D9)

Richypoos,
does yours work with jvc head unit ?
I just got 406 yesterday and clarion only plays cda files which is crap, I have a JVC Exad KD-LHX551 which i had in my fto and vectra which plays mp3 wma etcit also says something about cd changer (MP3) control.
Can i
1. get this working with clarion cd changer (std) or will it not play mp3
2. fit in dash easily
or is it easy to change cd changer
