I did some searching but was unsuccessful, the whip is a 2002 S and I would like to know if there are any CD changers that will work with the stock 02 radio besides the factory one ie. alpine,Sony,whatever and if so do they need any special adapters. I saw this one on Ebay but it didn't pan out. I would also like to keep the controls on the side of the dash.Input will be greatly appreciated.

 

The Alpine CHM S630 will work (along with earlier editions) but you will require an adapter. Crutchfield also sells one but the specs are not as good as Alpine.

 

Crutchfield is selling OEM replacement changers from some company called USA something or other.

As far as the dash controls, see my webpage. You can use the PAC SWI-X for most heads, but if it's a Sony, you may find a used DCU from S2kMan floating around somewhere.
