CD Changer Compatibillity
Does anyone know which changers are compatible with the pioneer systems found in the SC's? I know of the 92-96 ES changer, but do the 97-up ones work also?
Thanks,
Zac

NO ONLY THE FIRST GENERATION WORK. THE FIRST GENERATION HAS 3 SERIAL COMMUNICATION LINES AND THE 2ND GENRATION 97 UP ONLY 2. ALL OTHER CD CHANGERS IN THE WORLD ONLY HAVE 1 DATA LINE . THAT IS WHY NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO KNOCK OFF AFTERMARKET CHANGERS FOR FIRST OR SECOND GENERATION. . THE HEADUNIT AND THE CD CHANGER TALK TO EACH OTHER AND THE HEAD UNIT WONT READ CD CHANGER UNLESS IT IS COMMUNICATING PROPERLY THROUGH THE DATA LINES.

So do you think it's a better option to go for an aftermarket head unit instead of trying to locate another changer? I don't want to pay an insane amount for the install- i've put head units in other cars along with installing my amp/sub but the wiring on the stock head unit looks pretty complicated.
