like another brand one other than alpine ai-net......like a pioneer or even an OEM honda cd changer? or does it involve re-wiring?

 

Nope. They are AI-Net meaning you need a compatible changer.

 

how ever if you really wanted to you could get a sony one to work most of the sony's have regular left and right audio out and you could go to an ai-net adapter they sell that converts ai-net to left and right audio input. this would work but you would still need to have a controller like the fm modulated to control the operations of the changer but if you wanted to control the changer and everything from the deck it ain't gonna happen unless you get an alpine changer.
Peace

 

alot of cd changers have normal rca out jacks, so all you would need was an Ai-net adapter from a local stereo shop.

 

actually i forgot, my friend has a CVA1006 monitor, and the control box for it, has 2 sets of RCA inputs on it. So yea you can do it.
