Well guys after 3-4 years of owning my SC my CD changer finally took a crap on me, it was working fine one day then the next day whenever i try to listen to any of my CD's in the changer it just reads "ERR" Error,

So i have had a Kenwood Double din brand new in the box for the past 6 years & since my CD changer finally went bad i wanna put the kenwood in but i wanna use it with the factory amp & sub..

I see its possible to make it work with the factory amp & sub but i need alil help trying to make this work...anyone who is using a aftermarket double din PLZ.....Help!!

Thanks, Nate

 

Who still uses CD changers? Short answer it's more of a headache that you really want to take on to try to make that thing work. Chances are it won't work in the end.

CD Changers and Amplifiers working with a deck are 2 different animals. You're not talking about a signal difference (amp), you're talking about a total different language (cd changer)

 

Well bro, i use the stock CD changer because it is stock and it was working, im all about if it aint broke...dont fix it!!!

so now that the factory cd changer is broke i jus wanna use the aftermarket deck

 

i have a cd changer, 40 shipped, just toss it in.

 

I will keep that in mind, but i wanna use the kenwood dvd/mp3 etc player

 

Then source a Kenwood CD changer. You're not going to get the stock to work.

 

or just put in an auxillary cable https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...em-stereo.html

 

he already has a deck that is infinitly better than the OEM stereo from 17 years ago, that already has it's own AUX in.

 

I dont want the CD changer anymore..LoL that is what im trying to say, i am taking it out i jus wanna us the kenwood deck aka head unit with the factory sub n amp

 

Oh yeah that's simple. They have patch harnesses for that. The "best" bet would be to bypass the amp, but many people don't want to do that.

Sorry for my ignorance

 

Its all good, so about this patch harness...any links to it??

 

Scosche and Metra should have it. Look to Metra for the kit for our car, they finally made one that looks half way decent.

 

metra model number 70-8112 iirc usually range 20-25 bucks at radio shop.

 

keep in mind for all u cd users... beginning in 2014 they're goin to start phasing out cd players..(projected end date2016) some compaines have already begun..just a heads up

 

they have metra harnesses on amazon for around 10 bucks
