Where can I purchase a plastic "box" for the CDs that the trunk-located CD changer needs?
Why don't newer cars use this multiple-CDchanger system? Cost? reliability? Or???
Thanks in advance. Ken

I bought one for an Alpine -- it's identical except for the name. However, that was 11 years ago, and I don't know whether they're still available.

Ipod and Mp3 players have made CDs kinda "old school".
Multi disc changers are now found up front, but not cartridge style. Most of those systems were aftermarket and expensive to implement at the OE level.

Yes, they're smaller and can be more convenient, but they don't sound as good.

Technically that is true... the only way around that is to use very low compression.. and a non FM modulator to get the audio to your car.. direct wire is best, but the pre-amp out of an Ipod is kinda dirty.

Yep, and it's too bad -- I love the convenience of my iRiver MP3 player, but when it's amplified -- even with direct wire -- it takes a large, low compression file to sound decent. But it's great for skiing, cycling, etc.

You can get an Alpine cd-changer (Volvo cd changers are made by Alpine) that plays mp3 files.The CHA-S634 has connections for AI-net AND M-bus. KMJ Hello M.R.S.,
