Hi I have a 98 honda civic and I just recently put in my Aiwa headunit but the stock cd-changer cord wont connect into the slot in the back of the headunit. The holes on the headunit are too small or something... Is there any kind of adaptor or something to make it work?

 

You can probably find a wiring harness to connect them. If you have a good car audio store by you they most likely have one or know where to get one.

 

so are you saying that they do make a harness/adaptor to make them fit?

 

doubtful. They make adaptors for certain changers TO your factory radio, such as an alpine changer.. but for the other way.. forget it

 

no

 

As far as I know there are no factory-to-aiwa adaptors out there. I'm pretty sure that there's no way to hook a factory changer to an aiwa head unit.

 

some guy just said that an FM modulator would work..What is it? Is this true that It may work/??

 

The FM modulator for the ALpine M-bus changers should work. It won't sound as good, it will be kind of staticky since it's actually going through radio waves instead of directly.

 

ok...thanx

 

circuit city sells them, im not sure if they sell the one that goes from stock radio to aftermarket changer, or stock changer to aftermarket radio. but there IS a plug out there that connects one way or another

 

ok thanx everyone....I'm gonna go check out an FM modulater...hehe

 

you cant connect a factory changer to an aftermarket hu, but they make adaptors to connect aftermarket changers to factory headunits. even though the alpine and honda changers might conect to each other they are not a direct plug in. the pins are in different locations.
