Okay, i have an alpine head unit as it is, currently it will only take usb, i have some CDs i want to play while i'm drivin cause i can't get the songs off the cd i want, of course i can reformat them but i deal with computers 3 hours a day at school and more after i don't wanna worry about it right now, anyone know if it's possible to attatch a basic cd player? and have every thing else work too?

 

never done it or heard of it being done so i couldn't tell you. what format is the cd in that your Alpine wont read it?

 

I think he may have the Alpine multimedia head unit that only does usb or satellite radio? It doesn't even have a slot for cds, if its the unit I'm thinking about. I forget the model number off the top of my head.

 

i know the unit. i'm saying i've never heard of plugging in an external cd player. i know Pioneer has the external 6/12 disc players.

 

Let me figure out my photobucket pword again and i'll post up my headunit

It is, give me just a minute

 

You still havent answered the simple question that has been asked. Does your head unit have a slot for cd's. That simple answer would give us a better understanding of what is going on. you can add a stand alone cd player if your head unit has a aux. input. but all that seems to be alot more work than simply reformatting the music. Am I correct to presume that the cd you are trying to copy is not a store bought copy but rather a burnt copy from somewhere else?

 

The head unit doesn't have a slot for a cd, naw i bought it lol, all my downloads are usb. and i do have an auxillary option as well





Sorry for the wait i was in school when i updated

 

The just find a male to male 3.5 headphone jack and plug it into the CD player and Aux jack.

 

That is a sweet head unit. Ive installed a few for clients. You can use a cd walkman with a 3.5" jack. Or just reformat cd. or download the music from Isohunt already in mp3 format. Good luck
