    Anyway to integrate the factory Alpine 6-cd changer with an aftermarket stereo?

    After owning my car for awhile, I realize it came with a factory 6-cd alpine changer, but I haven't used it both because the cd cassette holder is long gone and I have a Pioneer DEH-2500ui headunit. However, since it's there already....it might be fun to get it working again if I can figure it out.

    Is there any way to run it using an aftermarket headunit like the Pioneer? And if yes, where can I find a replacement cd tray holder for the changer?

    No, the CD changer uses a harness which aftermarket head units don't have the connection for...

    nope there isnt any way to have a pioneer deck to a alpine changer, most brands or brand specific . most people dont even use changers any more since most decks do ipod, and bluetooth audio streaming. i cant remember the last time i did a changer install. i m a certifed mobile installer of 20 plus years and currently work for cartoys here in colorado.
