Default Fitting an auto changer

As I no longer own any cassettes I thought it was time to either fit a new head unit or fit an autochanger. seeing as i already have 2 pioneer ones at home, I decided to go for the autochanger. I was considering fitting it under the passenger seat but I just wanted to make sure it will connect to the back of the standard head unit and if its an easy job to fit one. How do I remove the head unit anyway???? anyone ???

It won't.

Only Honda changers at £400+ will connect to the OEM head unit.

Ah Shite!! looks like I'll have to go with the pioneer head unit then! Does anyone do an adaptor kit for them to allow the controls on the dash to work?

I've just ordered one of these to go with my Pionner headunit. Havent't installed it yet, so can't comment how well it works. Will keep you updated.

Why not just go for one of the new MP3 head units that read DVDs? 4.7GB worth of music on one disc which is about 7 CDs worth if you didn't compress it, or 28 CDs of 320kb/s MP3.

Good plan or even better get a compatible changer and stick that under seat! 28.2GB!
