If you have one of Sony's recent headunits with CD changer control but no MP3 you are in luck. I can now confirm that the new MP3 capable CD Changers (6 and 10 disc) are compatible with older head units.

I had a CDX-750M (active black panel display) and had a CDX-737 changer in the trunk. Today I swapped the 737 for a newer 757. The 757 is exactly the same size as the 737 and is grey instead of red. The front panel is also slightly different. I had already modified the Honda changer bracket to fit the 737 so fitting the 757 was a snap.

Just to complicate things I had recently removed the 750 and installed a 450MP (single MP3 CD capable, no changer control now up for sale). So I removed the 450 and reinstalled the 750, plugged in the changer lead, and hey presto, 10 MP3 or standard CD's available. Lovely.

So if you are one of the people who recently bought S2kman's DCU, and your Sony has CD Changer control, this is the upgrade for you.

 

I just put in a CDX-M750 with S2KMAN's control (I think I'm using your setup for the controls) and was getting ready to get a new changer....thanks for the info

 

No problem. Definitely worth it.

 

Hi SUis1,

does this mean that you recently ordered a DCU from S2KMAN? I'm dying to get off and buy a CDX-MP70 head unit but don't want to do so without the DCU. Unfortunately, he did not reply to my mail.

So I am wondering whether you bought your DCU recently -> I may then go on hoping to get one as well.

 

does the CDX-750M show/scrolls the entire file name? Cuz the MP450X doesn't scroll the full song title. Did they fix this on the CDX-750M ?

 

The 750 actually predates the 450 by about a year. But yes, the scrolling on the 750 is fine. It was designed to work with CD Text but works just fine with the filenames of MP3's.

 

nice.. I guess I'll have to look into get that setup!
