phillips changers only work with phillips radios (D8) and clarion changers (some sony and blaupunkt too) only work with clarion radios (D9)

That's a bummer, I was hoping to change out the head unit in mine too, the sound level has a mind of its own; I guess the amp is on it's way out :(

Richypoos,

does yours work with jvc head unit ?

I just got 406 yesterday and clarion only plays cda files which is crap, I have a JVC Exad KD-LHX551 which i had in my fto and vectra which plays mp3 wma etcit also says something about cd changer (MP3) control.

Can i
1. get this working with clarion cd changer (std) or will it not play mp3
2. fit in dash easily

or is it easy to change cd changer

The Clarion changer only plays audio CDs, not data
