Will this headunit control a CD Changer?

I want to add a Sony glove box changer. i have seen a sony changer connected to stock audi h/u with the use of a convertor.

Thanks

Need to have a photo of the rear connectors to establish whether it is changer capable or not really.

Cheers,

i dont have a actual pic of my stereo, but found this on the net

Also if i buy a CAN-BUS emulator and fit a Concert 2 headunit, will the new h/u improve AM Radio reception?

If that pin diagram is correct, then the answer is no - the connectors for the cd changer are missing.

Cheers,

If that picture is your unit, then no. It is the Chorus. However, if you get a Concert I, which looks almost the same and very cheap on ebay, then you can connect a mini-iso adapter via a converter unit to whatever changer you want.

Cheers for that. Is the concert 1 pre can-bus model?

Is there a specific concert 1 model I require for the A2? Had a quick look on ebay and they seem abit short in length when compared to my current chorus h/u.

thanks

I haven't checked but I think there is only one Concert I and both it and Chorus are pre-CAN. I'm pretty certain it is compatible with your car given yours is also a 2001. They are very cheap on ebay, so there is little to loose. Oh, don't forget a VAG-COM to code the new headunit in!

i've got vagcom, but its only shareware. Will i be able to code the replacement h/u with the shareware version of vagcom?

The concert 1 are very cheap!!
