Alternative CD Channger?

[Beaker™]

As loads of people are having problems with standard SEAT CD changers, does anyone know of an alternative CD changer that will work?

I for one definatly don't want to fork out for another one the same just for the same thing to happen again.

I have actually got 2 6cd changers in the garage but not sure if such a connector exists, will go have a look at what make they are :runs off to garage:

Just found a nice CLARION 6CD changer but it has a different connector:

Excuse the pic, very cold outside (shakey hands):

Had a search around, looks like its going to cost £50/£60 for the right lead!

My changer reads (or at least did read) all kinds of CDR's, are you burning yours properly, ie: finalising them?

the adaptor is made by a company called connects2, www.connects2.com

retail at about £60 but if any of you local guys need them give me a shout

£60! Sod that.

I've got a 6 stack Sony MP3 changer in the boot, its connected through the standard lead and a connect 2 block. The only downside is the connect 2 block is £52.99 but other than that it works well!

One other thing to note is the cost, the MP3 change was a little over £200 and the Connect2 £52.99. Also note you can get a 10 stack BUT the standard head unit will only play the first 6.

ok, question, my 6 stack sony has broke in the back of my cupra, my old dear has a 10 stack one in her civic with the same connections which she says i can have, do i just swap them strait over or do i need to disconnect power leads to allow it to be recognised???????? help asap please as my boots open and waiting

they work fine in my cd player in the house, and in my old alpine head unit, but when i try them in the cd changer it says 'no cd' or something.

Your changer may well be up the spout then mate.

Mine gave up playing copied CD's last week. Bought a CD lense cleaner form HMV for £4.99, problem solved ................... for now at least.
