Is it posible to plug a sony minidisc changer into an Alpine H/U with AI-net? Do they make some sort of adaptor to do this with? I don't want to get rid of my Alpine, but I want to listen to my minidiscs.

OR

Did Alpine make a minidisc changer? If so, where can I get it?

 

Alpine had an in dash mini disc player... made it about 3 years ago... forgot the model #, but they're hard to come by and are expensive.

Your alpine deck will not control a sony MD changer.

What you can do, if your alpine deck has the auxillary input option (if its new, it should) you can get the input adapter from crutchfield for $15, and use a sony controller for the MD changer... like the same controller/display you'd use if you were going to use an FM modulator. The controls will be seperate, but you'll get clean sound and still be able to keep the changer.

Call up crutchfield, and tell them thats what you want to do... dont let them talk you into something else (like buying a sony deck).

 

Thanks for the info, I have a 7894, but I'm getting a 9815 soon, so that maybe what I'll have to do. Thanks again!!

 

I wish I was an Alpine guru.

 

both the 7894 and 9815 will work with the aux input adapter... so you're golden... finding a controller for the changer might be a small challenge, your best bet may be ebay...??

If you have a honda with a "double DIN" opening the controller for the changer would look nice flush mounted in a plastic panel below the radio.
