CD Changer interchange

Ron:
They enlarge fairly well for me... Make sure you have a Pop-Up Blocker off....

You click the thumbnail to make them bigger (800x600) :eek:

They pop up as thumbnails.

I don't have problems with other thumbnails elsewhere on the forum (including your earlier post where the PC boards are shown. They come up OK).

Dunno, they work for me ! Try these ones

Fixed your post.

Thanks for the feedback all, the ipod conversion looks very achievable. Problem being I am one of the few in the population who actually still wants cassette functionality:D (never got around to converting my extensive tape collection to mp3.... one day though)

With a bit of external research, seems to me the CD changer needs to get replaced with either the standard clarion ($175 from TRW), or a later model generic clarion with Cbus connection.The latter is probably the more cost effective option, given that most of the old clarion units will be long in the tooth.

I'd stretch to a Roverville overhaul for 289$US, but I expect the freight would be the killer.

BTW Turns out I had CD error 2, which is a eject or load problem. (Cleaned lubed and tried all the fixes on the rrnet forums already, still no go)

Thanks for the feedback. These beasts are a continual learning experience.

The Tape Deck still works on mine... I just have a Blank Tape in mine when I want to listen to MP3's.

So in theory you could still play tapes :)

The saga continues.....
Grabbed a later model CDC635 Clarion stacker off Ebay (said to fully functioning) and slotted it in place of the standard one.
Loads CD, changes CD as requested and goes to track one. No joy from then on. It refuses to start playing and will not skip to track 2 when requested.
Either I have done my dough on a dodgy player, or the CDC635 is not really compatible. (Research on RRnet forum says this model number is tried and proven :confused:)
No way to check, and I'm not game to try my luck with another changer. Can anybody share experiences?

Troy... I'll dig through the stuff in my garage over the weekend... I think I recovered the aftermarket CD stacker out of my old P38 after drowing it a couple of years ago... or maybe I removed the stacker when I switched the head-unit over to a JVC DVD/MP3 thingy...

If I can find it, it's yours.

Cheers, Paul.

Paul, You'll make a frustrated man happy again. Let us know and I'll roll it in with some other HRA bits.

Starting to retrace my steps now, and I realise I have bought a CDC635 instead of a CDC625. They look identical, but not C-Bus it seems. Hope at least I get a spare magazine out of it.

Won't make that mistake again.
