Kenwood cd changer

simontribb · Sep 3, 2002

Got it today yippe

10 disc mp3
only 1 prob bloody thing dont work

, well it did twice but after that the head unit got confused and it stoped working.

i have got the adaptor from soundlinx , had to connect it behind the head unit ? i think the problem is with this as the changer works in a friends car and the problem is keeps coming and going away.

Any ideas? Dont they do an adaptor that will connect from the connection allready in the boot ?

Thanks
Simon

I've never used these convertors so I can't help much I'm affraid. It does sound like a fault with the converotr though, maybe it's faulty. Since the changer is working fine I would suggest you try and get a replacement convertor.

Those interface convertors are quite complex!

I was just wandering if maybe its something to do with the mp3 functionality of the changer???

Are you using normal CD's??

I've seen it before when a manufacturer releases a new auto changer and adds in a couple of new commands this can confuse the *** out of the interface adaptor...

Just a thought!

Didn't think of that... the mp3 controls for the changer will add loads of commands that the convertor probably doesn't know about...

Its was playing a normal cd the time it worked, then went to try it again later and it just come up with the error "changer" some communication fault

The Convertor number was SEA01KEN and was connected behing the head unit in place of the other connector

Im going to et hold of the other adaptor they do SEA02KEN looks like it has the same connection as the one in the boot some hopefully that will fix it
