Hi I installed my Alpine system a while ago and let me tell you the Alpine cd changers are the worst things on earth.
It's worse then the stock cd changer.
It skipping a lot I can only listen to the music when I'm at a traffic light or something because even if I make a turn the music will stop and it resumes after I finish making a turn.
Now I wonder is there a way to make a stock cd changer work with the Alpine Iva W205 headunit?
Because I really want to listen to my cds
This headunit has an i POd interface but I don't like connecting the i pod everutime I'm in the car and unplugging it when i step out so that's why I want the cd changer.

 

yea u can hook it up through AV connection (for permenant purpose) these connections are usually console.
the easieast way is to buy cassette Adaoptor online (cost $5~$10) and connect you Ipod or any thing even u r CD player. ~Sheezo~

 

No that won't work because I have the Alpine Iva W205 deck and that one doesn't have the cassette adaptor.
So I'll need a cd changer that I can hook to the deck and control of the deck that has a state of the art anti skipping system so it won't skip.

 

Just curious, but why do you want a CD player over your iPod? I am about to unplug my CD changer and plug an iPod (actually Zune) in its place.

Because original cds have better sound quality them mp3 and it's easier tp operate while i'm in traffic.

 

What's the model number of the cd changer that you installed?

Thanks

 

I can't find the model number but it's the one that plays 6cds and can read cds with mp3 on them.
