Default CD Changer / mp3 local install

I want to install a CD changer that will work with the factory head unit to read mp3 and track and title info. The electronics forum recommended the 10-disc Neochanger, cool! Anybody local have a good experience with a local installer - NW side of town would be great! - and this changer. What about the Honda accessory changer - does it have this capability? Thanks!

Consider just installing a HU with MP3 capability. WIth up to 10 CDs in MP3 format fitting on one disc, you get the same effect with possibly a lot less hassle during the installation. Might be cheaper, too.

That is what I said. Installing an HU w/MP3 takes care of a few problems. No changer to install, more power to the speakers, and better sound.

Since you live on my side of town, I will be happy to help you install whatever you end up with. Now it will take time, but you will learn how as well.

Thanks stratocaster and ulrich. Sounds like changing the HU is the way to go. Which HU did you buy? Are you happy with it?

Get a Neo Car Jukebox made by the same company.



Drop the MP3 CD BS and do it the right way. Choose your HD size, 20GB, 40GB, 60GB, 80GB, 120GB. I've got a 40GB drive in mine and I am using less than 50% of it with over 350 Cds MPEG'ed at "near CD quality". They have a connector that will allow you to input the signal into the S2000 as if it was the CD Changer signal and it's just as easy to install as a CD Changer. I installed one in my S2000 years ago, moved it to the Insight, and now moved it to the Mazda. I haven't listened to the radio/CDs in years, but I do purchase all of my music. Although I can install such an item I'd refer you to the guy who did all of the stereo work in my S2000. He only charges as much as a standard CD Changer install to install the Neo. You can get the 40GB model for $350.

My install in the S2000:

Included LCD mounted under the stereo:
