Because you can mount an autochanger in the boot and plug it in to the rear of the radio/casette. Standard Clarion autochanger for the time.Hi everybody.
I have just bought a '99 916 Spider 1.8 T.Spark and I have some doubts....
Firstly the audio....do you know why in the frontal of the original radiocassete it indicates Compact Disc???
Cheers
Whisper : Barcelona.Erm, are you sure its not a 2.0 TS - Alfa didn't do a 1.8 for the Spider/GTV...not in the UK at any rate, Also, in the UK the car came with a CD player as standard I believe....
I think it would be highly unlikely there's a compatible iPod interface for the original radio cassette since fully fledged iPod interfaces weren't around until circa 2004. You could get a cheap iPod/cassette adapter that uses a minijack cable to cassette, but the audio quality (in my experience) is hissy, as it converts digital to analog crudely.Thanks a lot for the answers
So the original equippment is Clarion....is it possible to mount an Ipod Interface in the original radiocassete?
Amazon sell cassette to ipod/mp3 player adaptors. No other way of connecting an ipod to the original Clarion radio cassette.Thanks a lot for the answers

I'm also an originality weirdo..The easiest way would be changing the head unit, but I want to conserve mi 916 strictly original, so I rule out this option....
About the iPod/cassette adapter I don´t like because I can´t stand having cables around....so the only solution it to buy original cassetes of my favourite music. I know, the romanticism sometimes has this price :lol:
I'll get the model number off my autochanger but I can't do that until this evening. That should at least help you a bit.The other solution, maybe the best one, is to buy a Clarion CD Changer.....do you know what I must consider to ensure total compatibility?
The lead went across the passenger footwell, down the sill and across the top of the fuel tank into the boot. You could then suspend the autochanger from the metal under the rear shelf. On a phase 1 you can use either side of the car but if placed on the right will obstruct access to the battery. On Phase 2/3 there is that shelf on the left that can be used.My car never had an auto changer.. Has anyone got any pictures of the installation??..
Thanks a lot pkrI'll get the model number off my autochanger but I can't do that until this evening. That should at least help you a bit.
In-Car EntertainmentWhat does ICE mean? It sounds very interesting!
Cheers guys..The autochanger is a Clarion CDC635
Pic below as well as the head unit socket
There must be at least a 3.5mm headphone plug to Clarion autochanger emulator available if not a full control iPod interface.
EDIT : Sorry about the use of ICE without explaining it.
