Thr problems with ice

Hiya i have a 2002 LC it has the 6cd changer in the glove box and the original head unit. My question is tht if i wanted to change the head unit is there any way of keeping the cd changer and using it with some other head unit? I looked for a thread involving this question but i couldnt find sorry
Any help ?!?!?!

im sure you cant use the seat cd changer with any aftermarket H/U.
there could be a adaptor,so you could use the seat changer,but could be expensive if at all!

hope this helps kaanarig.

cheers foxes its just annoyin cos i want to fit a sub but the sounc quality wont be as good is i get a line of the speakers so i wanted to change the head unit but then i cant use my cd changer so im abit stuck really arent I!!

 

[foxes]

if you get a sub, then get an amp... with speaker line input option(High level input ) then you can use the seat H/U& Changer combined.
sound quality will still be fine

Yea i work at halfords, i tried to get the same thing for my toledo, and its cd changer but we cannot get such a thing, i dont think you can get any adaptor for the autochanger, apart from replacing it with one of the same make as you HU

 

[Kaanarig]

thts just wrong so now i have to make more expense. (i bet i sound like a right tight git) hehehe

I know what you mean, its a pain but if your new HU is mp3 compatiple, then you can put all of the six cds from your cd changer onto to one mp3 disc, lol

 

[Kaanarig]

true

 

[Malice19]

you could even treat your self and get a MP3 CD changer..

My Ibiza still has the standard HU & changer, and i've got a full JBL install (front components & Tweeters, 6x9's, 12" Sub, and an amp to power the lot) which sounds amazing! The standard HU's actually put out a very good clear sound.

I'll probably get corrected here, but IIRC Pete (ICECavern) tested the outputs of the AURA HU and found it to have a near perfect flat response... in other words, it's a good HU!! Shame it's the speakers that let it down...

And, as has been saus, unfortunately even though the OE CD changer is believed to be a Panasonic, it is not compatible with any non-SEAT HU.
