Radio Input/Adding a cd/mp3 player 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Kippy on  Wed Apr 24 14:36 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hey all. I just bought a 95 850 GLT a few months ago, and now Id like to quasi-upgrade the stereo. Actually, what Id like to do is keep the factory head unit and add a cd player. Here is where the hang up comes. What I REALLY wanted to do is add a mobile cd/dvd/mp3 unit to the system. I had been looking around and know the factory head unit (SC 811) can take a changer from either the factory or from Alpine with the proper adapter. I have pulled the head unit and seen the odd 8 or whatever pin interface that is required for connecting it up.
So now comes the question. Can I add a unit that terminates with stereo rca plugs to the factory unit? What kind of adapter would have to be purchased or rigged up? If anyone has any ideas, Id sure be grateful. Thanks.
