Is the interface for CD autochangers a standard thing, or is it unique to each model? Will it be possible to make the Philips RC026 autochanger from my old car work with the Ford 6000 cd/radio in my new car?

If not, I might as well leave it in the old car when I sell (not that it works, but I'm fairly sure that's just a wiring fault which somebody could fix, hence why I'm considering swapping it).

vw group headunits usually do not work with aftermarket cd changers

Don't think they are the same.

However, I just got an electronic CD changer emulator that plays music off an SD card and the headunit thinks it's a CD changer. Works really well, and they are available for loads of different manufs apparently. Cost £40 so barely more than the inevitable wiring adapters even if you could get yours to fit.

Pah, CD autochangers - thing of the past. I stick a CD in my head unit and it automatically records it to the built-in hard drive and finds the track listing info from its database.

Thanks for the help, folks - I appreciate CD changers are dinosaurs, but I have one, I have plenty of CDs and I have a head unit which supposedly works with a CD changer. Though the CD changer emulator is certainly an interesting idea.

Anyway, bump for the daytime crowd

I've got an CD autochanger in my car, I can stick 10 CDs at a time in there apparently.

Never used it.
