Need help with Panasonic CQ-RG153U

So i installed the H/U today, and everything went well until I put it back. The cassette and radio worked fine, but the H/U didn't recognize my cd changer. My cd changer is an older Alpine model(CHM-S601), so my instincts tell me that I may need a panasonic CD changer for it to recognize it, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.

you got it
in fact you can do damage plugging in someone elses changer to a head unit not designed to operate it...those din plugs may fit together but that doesnt mean the pins are the same thing inside them

^ Yup... that's the biggest problem you encounter with different manufacturers

Well I got the H/U for 25 bucks, so I wasn't really thinking about how it would match the stock stuff in my car. Thanks for the help guys.

For $25 bucks ya can't complain too much that you don't have compatable equipment, so as long as you didn't do any damage to the h/u it sounds like you're still a head of the game... now you just need to score a good deal on a Panasonic changer...lol
