stereo upgrade

[dcboxster]

Gents (and Ladies),

I own a '99 C2 CAB and am considering purchasing an alpine 9852 head unit to replace my CDR-32 becker unit. I have a couple of questions as follows:

1. The head unit has a versatile link function; does anyone know if I can hook this up to my cdc-3 changer in the boot (trunk) and whether it would require any special adapters?

2. Will I also need any special wiring harness adapters to connect up the heap unit?

Many thanks in anticipation of your advice.

I used a VW/Audi adapater to put my Alpine 9835 in my 99 C2. You will also need an antenna adapter for Audi/VW.

Thanks, Viper. I checked out these adapters and they are pretty cheap.

However, does your '99 C2 have a CDC-3 Changer?

If a CDC-3 is a disc changer I do not have one. I know my 9835 will control a changer but have not got one since I have an 80 gig i-pod instead. The Alpine controls it pretty well, even with the older style adapter. Just had to create several playlists to make searching through a bit easier.
