Hello everyone - I'm sure this question has been discussed before, but I was unable to find it via search or manually browsing threads - so forgive me in advance.

I was looking at the install instructions for the OEM CD Changer and it appears that it connects to a Honda bus cable, then to the OEM head unit. Are any after market CD Changers (ideally, MP3 enabled) compatible with this bus system? I am guessing currently no. According to Crutchfield, they do not currently offer a changer that is compatible.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions!

I've read in a previous thread that Soundgate has yet to make a CD Changer adapter. I have also contacted Blitzsafe (another 3rd party company who makes CD Changer adapters), and they said theirs would work if the Element's audio bus connector is the same as previous Honda adapters (like from an 02 Accord, etc.) - which my guess is no. Can anyone confirm this?

From what I understand it is not the same.
