Default Question.. OEM cd changer with Alpine mbus head unit

I searched and found some threads but there were no definite answers. Does anyone know if any adapters are made so I can hook up my honda cd changer to my alpine md unit. The Alpine has the older Mbus interface, not the ai-net and I have heard that you can tweak certain adapters to make it work with non oem radios.

Any input would be appreciated..

Continue searching, I know the schematic is out there. It involves swapping two of the lines. If I remember correctly, the + lead of one speaker is used as the - lead for the other side when the wires aren't swapped...

I have no problems with the swapping part as I found the schematic but I would still need to have some sort of adapter that lets me plug in the wiring to the 8 pin socket. I'm assuming that this is a hack job in which I must hack off the rectangular plug of the oem changer and wire it up to the adapter. I'm just worried that the color coding may not be uniform between the wiring on the oem changer and the adapter.
