Can this be Done ??
Hi
ok i got a Pioneer Avic x1 sat\nav head unit, the internal drive can play dvd, cd and mp3 (on cd), i also have a Pioneer cdx-p670 cd changer fitted (non mp3), the two units are wired useing the IP BUS system. When i try to play an mp3 cd in the changer i do not get any info up on the display, is this cos there is no id3 tag info gettin to the head unit, as the cd changer is not mp3 ? As far as i know Pioneer dont do an cd\mp3 changer!!! Well what iam thinking is, if i can mod the cd changer with maybe a sort of id3 tag decoder and feed this back up to the head unit, would it come up on the display ?? Also does anyone know that when u select "ext" changer do it bypass the int mp3 decoder in the head unit ??. can anyone help with any diagrams for cd\mp3 cd changer and just plain cd changer, to see how things are done ??? Any help or advice most welcome. Thanks Howard |

As my basic understanding goes, it's because the changer is simply
unable to read the mp3 CDs. Think about it like this: If you have a house stereo (not able to play mp3s) and a portable CD player (mp3 capable), you can play mp3's through the stereo by plugging the portable into the house system because the portable is doing the reading of the actual disc. If you try and do it the other way around, the house stereo is simply going to say that the disc is unreadable. I have NO CLUE why I just used a house stereo analogy in a car audio forum, but it seems to make sense... Mister.Lull |
