hmm, older alpine equipment... well, you can upgrade the head unit to a new Ai-net unit... which will control a XM satelite tuner and the changer. The XM tuner has a pass-through for doing so... so both units can be controlled.

BTW, whats the full model # for the changer?? there should be 3 letters before the 5970.


They also have a FM modulated XM kit, the controller for the XM tuner will also control a changer... so if keeping your present head unit is something you want to do, it can also be done that way. FM modulation tends to lack sound quality pretty bad... so upgrading the head unit would be your best bet for better sound quality... but more expensive.
