Just wanted to be a little more specific. I was trying to install an Alpine 6 disc cd changer to a factory unit in my 1998 Honda Passport. I have all but two wires connected. I don't know what to do with the "control" wire, (PURPLE / white), and another has been cut. I believe it to be an antenea wire that plugs into the unit, or could of been rca's not sure. Thanks again to anyone that might be familiar with this.

Are you sure of this model#? The only 1200 series stuff from Alpine were shuttle "link" controlers designed to add Alpine shuttles to factory HU. These were not FM mods and they were only made in the early 1990s.

That sounds pretty acurate. I bought it around 93-94 installed it in an old 78 coupe deville for a year or so took it out and had stored untill now. I doubled checked the model info on both, the cd changer is an Alpine CD Shuttle compact disc changer 5951Z and the modulator says Alpine FM Stereo Modulator Unit. The more I think about it the more I think that the "control" (PURPLE / white) wire is the remote wire, but I can't recall what the spliced wire was. The female antenea connector is stil on the modulator so I am thinking that the spliced wire were rca jacks or maybe a male antenea connector that would plug into the unit in place of the antenea wire that is pluged into the modulator. Hope this is detailed enough for ya to draw a conclusion. Thanks.

I am trying to install and older model Alpine 6 disc cd changer in a 98 Honda Passport. Here is were I am at, Alpine 1200 FM Stereo modulator unit, wires from the alpine unit, battery(yellow), ignition(red), control(PURPLE / white), ground(black), going to factory head unit on 98 passport, battery(yellow) connected to 12v+constant(RED / white), ignition(red) going to switched(RED / yellow), ground(black) going to ground(black), and I am stuck on the control(PURPLE / white) from the modulator unit. I do have the antenea pluged into the modulator unit and the modulator unit plugged into the antenea on unit. I get power to the changer and the radio is clear when the changer is off, when I turn on the changer I get static. It's been awhile since I messed with car audio. Any help on this install would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
