    Cool Sc-901 mp3 cds

    Looks like I am answering myself here , Now bought an ALPINE CHAS634 6 DISC MP3 CHANGER and looking to hook it up. Next cost ,the m bus adapter , SOUNDLINX-VOL02ALP looks like there's no getting around the price (£60) unless... anyone's "been there, done that" cheaper???
    Seems like there is some interest in having home burnt mp3 Cd's (all copied from originally purchased Cd's) available in the car instead of a centre console full of loose Cd's.
    Will continue to post results ,each time penny's permiting.

    I looked into getting a cd changer myself ages ago, but decided against it as I couldn't find an alternative to the adapter which, as you say, is a costly piece of kit for what it is. Plus it wasn't MP3 compatible.

    You say you've got the CHA-S634 changer, this uses the Ai-Net not the Mbus, so I'm guessing the VOL02ALP adapter wont work with it.

    Thanks silverback02 for your pictures. Will try to use original wiring feeds for the SC-901 to feed VOLA2 ,fingers crossed. Will feed a couple of inline fuses though. 3amp OK ? Kim

    Well I started this little personnel ,it would seem thread , and now time to close it ......
    Have found a few things that might have been helpful ..from the back of a SC-901 Brown and green wires are 12v permanent feeds..yellow and violet 12v ignition switched.
    A SC-901 will not see the CHA-S634 even with the VOLA2 interface .

    According to the imfo sheet that comes with the set up it lists 1995-99 840,850,940,960,s40,v40,s70,v70, and not s80. But will work with Head units SC700,SC800/1/2/5 AND CR906.
    NOT any more modern units eg sc-901.

    the lot is up for sale MP3 auto changer CHM-S634 review at
