Help-More Cd changer question

legendean · 11-12-03, 08:24 PM

Hi
Anyone knows how many wires/connections should be coming through the trunk to connect to the aftermarket cd changer. I have a 92 L and need to connect a cd changer to it but I notice that there were atleast 3 wires coming through to the case in the trunk. One seems like an antenna wire the other is a small 8 pin connector (about 3/4 inch diameter) and the other is like a socket connector. Are all three required or perhaps they were from some previous modification. I dont want to buy the wrong cd changer. Please help.

Hello,

you need only the 8 pin connector for the CD-changer. You can use an OEM CD-changer (plug and play) or you can use an Alpine M-Bus changer for example CHM-620 with a little mod. You have to change Pin 2 and Pin4 or you can buy an Acura/Honda to Alpine adapter

do you know if the alpine chm-630 works with a 94 coupe?

With the ACU/ALP adapter, it should work fine
