One for the experts: is there a gadget that allows two cd-changer inputs into one head unit? I'm trying to do a custom ipod install in a '97 Honda Accord that already has a changer. The owner wants to keep the changer, and of course it would be idea to use an ipod adapter that allows control from the head unit.
things i've seen so far: Blitzsafe makes a cd changer + aux input (rca's) adapter. PIE makes a cd changer + 3 rca's (total of 4 inputs) with dash-mounted selector.
thoughts? ideas? thanks!

Have you looked at the AUX-POD? https://pac-audio.com/

with any of those interfaces you will not be able to control the the iPod from the factory head unit and keep the factory changer. The only way to get control from the factory radio is to do away with the factory changer.

yeah, ended up using the Alpine ipod interface. had to change the head unit too, but overall it's a pretty easy install and it sounds great. well, as great as factory speakers can sound.. ;)
