Will a brand new Clarion MP3 Player work with an existing clarion cd changer?
I have a clarion unit already installed in my Fiat Coupe, the head unit
is a clarion cassette player, with a cd changer mounted in the boot, I have a majority of my stuff on MP3 CD now, and although I'm not a clarion fan particularly, the easiest solution would be to buy a new Clarion MP3 Head unit, with cd changer support, so I can put all my old cd's in the changer and the MP3's in the front. Without running down to the car to get the model numbers, should a new clarion head unit be compatible with a 4 year old clarion changer? or did they change the type of connections since? if needed I can supply the exact model number.

As far as I know, the connections havnt changed in years. I have an
old cd changer and the plugs are the same in my newer HU. But, to be sure, take the plugs from the cd changer and use like silly putty or something and make a mold of the connection. When you look at the back of the new HU, you can see right then if it will fit. |

If it is a factory changer, this usually does not work with aftermarket
radios. Clarion changers came in 2 types, Z and C bus, so you may want to verify and confirm the sizing with any Clarion cd changer controlling head unit. http://www.autotoys.com |

CeNet and C-Bus you mean (not Z Bus) C-Bus being a round 13 pin Din, and Ce-Net being a squarish plug. CeNet head unit can control a C-Bus changer, if you buy the right hardware. |
