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.

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?

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.

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??

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

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?

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