Default can i get a generic RF modulator and CD-changer controller?

Ok, so i did something stupid. . .I bought a used alpine CD-changer from someone for 60 bucks for my new alpine headunit which i just got. Unfortunately i didnt think to check whether it was compatible with AI-net controls for the headunit.

The changer is an M-bus changer. . . can i get a generic Rf modulator and something to control the changer? I'd be kind of annoyed to have to just sell this thing. . .

Alpine makes a Ai-net to M-bus adapter for like $15...

Dont use an RF modulator, the sound quality sucks.

yeah, but its for using an Ai-net changer on an M-bus headunit. I have an Ai-net headunit and I want to run an M-bus changer.

It will suck just as bad as your radio reception will suck and your speakers suck.

I had an RF CD-changer in a previous car, and it sounds fine. Is it audiophile quality? No, but if the poster were an audiophile, he'd likely spring more than $60 for a used CD changer.

actually, i bought it because i made the mistake of thinking it would work with my headunit. If i knew in the first palce that it wouldnt, i wouldnt have bothered. I don't really need it, its just another toy. I just want to make use of the thing somehow unless i can get someone to take it off my hands for the same price i paid for it.
