CD changer connections
« on: 23 November 2005, 14:17 »
I have a Sony head unit and 6 cd changer, i have replaced the head untit for a newer panasonic one, but the din connection on the back which controls the cd changer are completely different! (will post pics when i get a chance)

Can you get adaptors for these connections?

Thanks

You can get them for some combinations, but not all I think. Try Sextons or Halfords! :huh:

In my experience yes! Good old restrictive practices - to make you buy matching stuff!
