Default Alpine to Kenwood adapter?

Hi,

I don't know much about car stereo equipment, so excuse my ignorance. I want to get a Kenwood KDC-MP919 unit for my 01 Honda Prelude and I was wondering if there's a way to get it to work with the OEM CD Changer (which is Alpine). Is there some sort of an adapter that will make them work together?

if it is a alpine head unit u can go for a cha-s634 mp3 changer which will work if ur unit uses the ai-net bus system. or a new kenwood unit?

No not possible at all.. no one makes a cable to do this.. specially since its crossing brands.. its either stock radio -> stock cd changer, stock radio -> aftermarket changer, aftermarket radio -> aftermarket changer, but not aftermarket radio -> stock changer..

Nope, You will have to get either a RF-Modulated CD Changer (any brand) Or You have to replace the head unit to an Alpine.

If you can find the pinouts, you can make your own adaptor, the trouble is you have to buy 2 cables at $40-60 each to splice together. You also have to hope they are using the same voltage, otherwise you need to get out the resistors.
