scrap the changer. scrap the deck. that's where i'd start.
get an ipod compat. deck, and buy a small ipod. in the place of the changer put the cubby (rodeo/trooper part). or, in place of the changer add some scan gauge products?
Good setups (IMO) always start with a good head unit.
I can't speak of 2006 alpine/eclipse models - I only have an 05 (Alpine CDA-9835). Anybody recently purch. 06 models from these manuf?
BTW: MSH - any progress on the system?

No progress on the system yet. Just replaced the head unit with the same model of Kenwood for now. The rest of the system will have to wait until I can scrape some money together.

Just installed the Alpine CDA-9856 head unit for about $200 out the door and scrapped the stock changer. Burned a couple of MP3 discs with hundreds of songs from my collection. (I'm still in the anti-ipod phase.)
OH MY GAWD, it is like so totally awesome!
Powerful bass (somewhat) and crisp highs from the tweets...
Much better than the "2 Fast 2 Furious" video game style decks out therewith all of the useless buttons and flashing lights.
Just my two Euros.
