With the use of an interface (an adaptor lead) you can connect an aftermarket CD changer to your factory radio. The interface will enable the factory radio to operate the selected make of CD changer. As the interfaces are only compatible with the radio they were manufactured to work with and are not universal, if you choose an Alpine CD or CD/MP3 changer you should also get the appropriate Alpine interface to match.

You will find packages consisting of CD changers in the “Factory Fit CD” section of car audio websites. You will also see their appropriate and recommended interfaces ready to be quickly installed. These are listed under vehicle make and model.

Please note: Some cars do not require an interface in order for the CD changer to operate. You simply plug in the recommended CD changer. This will become clear if you enter the “Factory Fit CD” changer section of an online shop and select your car make and model.

This store specializes in car audio. I give them thumbs up -- I work with them daily (so I know their business philosophy -- customer satisfaction) . However, if your country is not served by them, you can still get other recommendations here.
