I recently bought 1996 Honda Accord EX coupe (my first car ) with factory cd player and 6cd charger in the trunk.
I want to install mp3 player in my car since I have a lot of mp3 music and not a lot of audio cds.
Is there a mp3 head unit out there that is able to interface with my existing cd charger and read mp3 music from there? That way I would be able to have 4gigs of music in the car.
Or am I just being stupid thinking that it could be done?

Thanks everyone.

If you dont have a lot of audio cds why do you want to keep the 6 disc changer? I would recommend that you get an aftermarket radio with mp3 capability. Look at the units that Alpine and Pioneer have to offer.

I was thinking that I might be able to store mp3 disks in the changer. I don't know if that is possible.

If its a stock changer then no it will not play mp3 discs. If you want a changer that plays mp3's Alpine and Pioneer make one. You should really consider those as your two best options.

Thank you! I will look into those.

No problem.

actually you may be in luck....well sorta. Oem honda changers were made by Alpine- its was compatable with thier M-bus lines. I would look there. Only issue i forsee is the audio (+/-) is out of phase.

^^^. This is true. Makes the install of alpine cd changers in Hondas a breeze and saves you a few bucks as well.

Although a stock changer can be plugged into an Alpine M bus HU. with a minor mod, [switching signal return and right signal at HU end of changer cord] it will not play MP3 disks. 94
