CD-Changer Connection

We know the following levels of CD-Players:

Basic
Enhanced (single disk)
Enhanced + 6disc changer

Is there any way to find out if the Basic/Enhanced have a port/connection to add an external CD changer? If so, then we can do the integrated iPod system, which will allow us to control our iPods using the steeringwheel control, etc...

All 3 have aux jacks. Sorry.. only one 12 volt power jack though.... You'll need a splitter if you want to power the Ipod and a cell at the same time.

Wow! You completely missed his point, congratulations!

Fort, only time will tell buddy! I hope so though.
Hey.. it's Monday.. and it's early... nothing in the manual about an external changer though...

It's okay, I was only kidding. But you missed the point again...

What he's getting at is that he wants to use the steering wheel controls to change tracks/play/pause on his iPod. This cannot normally be done, however he's hoping that the standard CD player will have a port for a CD changer because if the deck has this port then he can get an accessory that makes the steering wheel controls work for the iPod as well.

Looks like the HHR has the same radio. Just need some one to casually go down to their local Chevy dealer and ripe apart a dash. Looks like they are pushing the internal 6-disc with the HHR too. Don't know if that's a sign if they're not going to bother with a CD changer connection.

Links to iPod OEM CD Interface Adapters

I posted this a while back on a different thread, but it's singularly appropriate for this thread:

Here's a couple of links to articles mentioning CD port iPod interfaces:

link to PC Mag.com article... (2005-01-10) New iPod Car Stereo Options from Alpine, Clarion, Monster, Pioneer and More

link to Cruthfield CES show article... (2005-02-01) Plug In and Drive!: An insider's look at the future of mobile A/V

If we've got a CD changer port on the back of the OEM unit, being able to skip a song you don't really want to hear right now, or skip back and repeat a song you want to hear again with your thumb on the steering wheel will be very nice indeed. :cool:

Since the radio itself has a built in changer, I would think an extra changer port would be overkill.
The basic radio and the MP3 radio both have single-disks.

It wouldn't be overkill on those, now, would it?
