adding ALPINE DVD CHANGER,
 

hi guys,

after 2 years of being satisfied with my 2005 3.0d i got it upgraded, oh yes :) I've bought Alpine DVD changer for 6 dvds. It plays everything, including mp3 and divx files and has remote control.

It was connected through the TAPE audio channel, so if I want to use it i just push tape button on the main panel. I've installed the on/off button in the rear passenger’s panel just above AV in/out jacks to switch video signal so i can watch all the track infos, videos, navigate folders and so on...

After using it for several weeks i have some questions.

1. When playing some audio files the sound quality is not like very good? Does it have any connection that I am using tape audio channel or whatever it called? What may i do to improve sound quality?
2. Had anybody tried to install DVD changer INSTEAD of original CD changer (no mp3 format support), do you get original file navigate buttons working?
3. Should I re-install my dvd changer instead of current CD changer?

I can use both cd and newly installed dvd changer. Maybe it’s better to have dvd changer installed instead of current cd changer? What for do i need old cd changer now?:dunno: One thing, my audio installation company told me that they have no experience in installing DVD changers INSTEAD of CD changers and getting original button to work.

any tips?



p.s. i can take some photos for this new on/off button instal in rear panel, how the changer itself was installed, or anything else that maybe usefull bor somebody, if somebody needs it...

I assume you're using a DHA-S690, if so there is no device that can control this from the stock head unit, with the exception of using the Alpine Vehicle Hub and a BMW/Alpine interface.

As the DHA-S690 only has AI-Net or stand alone control options, none of the Alpine/BMW adapters for CD Changers will work as they all use M-Bus mode. The Intravee is the only AI-Net mode adapter, but the DHA-S690 is not yet supported.

Anyone know if the latest version of the Intravee II yet supports the Alpine DHA-S690 DVD changer? Tom, any idea?

:bump:

Richard told me last week that it does not support Alpine DHA-S690 DVD changer yet.

Thanks for the note.:thumbup:

how much did you pay for the dvd changer and Do you want to sell it ?.

Does it support HDA-S680 model

I assume you mean the DHA-S680.

Answer : not yet.
