Does any body have the Alpine Ai-net mp3 changer working with the stock radio? I've heard that some people have instralled and I went out and got the changer but several people say it will not work.

I even called Cruthfield about the KCA-130B M-bus / Ai-net adapter but they will not stand by it. WHY?

So does it or does it not work?

 

I heard that it will not work from many sources. I do know the non Ai-net change DOES work. I had it for awhile.

 

all I want is to be able to play mp3s

 

I would suggest getting an ipod and an FM transmitter or something... Or replace the headunit.

 

Just replace the head unit. I had a Pioneer for a while played MP3s and it was XM compatible. I think I paid $180 or so.

 

I never feel like the aftermarke head units ever fit right in the dash.

 

They fit quite well in ours. Go to www.lucidautomotive.com. He can probably help you. There is a product thats relatively inexpensive that will let you keep the dash controls too.

 

The Pioneer fit perfectly and looked great too

 

So does Alpine...

Plus the radio is covered by a door!

 

I guess I should look into it. But is sound compromised any if I dont install an external amp?
