What is a CD Changer Interface Adaptor?
CD Changer interface adaptors are small electronic control units or converter leads (dependent upon vehicle and radio) and their approximate sizes are (L80mm x H35mm x D55mm) for the box type or (L160mm to L400mm) for the lead type. CD changer interface adaptors are a simple way of connecting and controlling an aftermarket CD changer (such as Alpine, Kenwood, Sony) from your Factory installed radio.
Simplified, your factory radio talks a different electronic language to the aftermarket CD changer. So the CD changer interface adaptor simply translates this so both components can communicate and work in synergy.
So if you already have a Pioneer CD changer using this interface adaptor is perfect for a low cost upgrade producing outstanding sounding results.

Pioneer CD Changer interface adaptors install at the rear of your radio or onto the pre-wired CD lead (if applicable) for your particular car make and model and the CD Changer connects to the other side of the interface adaptor by push-fit connection.
Interface Adaptor installation to the car wiring is either by push-fit connection (in the majority of cars) or alternatively by connecting 2 wires from a choice of 3 sources (earth, 12v or 12v switched). To aid you with installation comprehensive installation instructions are included.
