CD stacker on stock head unit???

[SlikVic]

Hi,

i was wonderning wheather you guys could help

i have a 1998 Civic Hatch
I have done nothing with the standard sterio
it has tape, am/fm
It also has a CD button (for a CD stacker)
does this mean if i buy a CD stacker it can be linked up to the head unit. with no extra devices?

i was thinking like a Pioneer cd stacker or something.

I really hope this could be done but i am not sure

so please give me an answer!!!!

thanks

cd STACKER? wow... never heard a cd changer called that b4.

yeah there's a port on the back of the stereo to plug in the feed from the cd changer.

[SlikVic]

Stacker is an Australian term
don;t know what the American word is for it!

will it mater what kind he gets? or will any kind work?

[Maxvla]

needs to be the same brand as the deck... unless you get one with a radio transmitter... then any of them will work but it won't sound as good.

[SlikVic]

so it needs to be the same brand as the head unit.

If i had to replace the head unit as well, then could i keep the same speakers??

[Maxvla]

oh yeah... speakers are completely independant of anything else... as long as you don't put a million watt amp on them or something. :D

you can put an aftermarket cd changer, stacker, box, whatever you want to call it, on your factory HU. but you will need an adaptor. blitz makes a pretty good one. i don't know the exact model you will need but that is the brand. and yes there is a limitation to what brand "stacker" you can use if you want to be able to use it through your existing HU. i am not sure which ones work with that specific car, but if you want i can find out.

Or are you talking about the add-on CD player for the second DIN opening?

[black95gs-t]

either one will take the adaptor unless you use a FM modulator.
