Default Adding Alpine To Symphony Head Unit

Is this even possible? BlitzeSafe looks like they make something to interface Alpines to Audi, but will this work for the 2001's Symphony radio? Just curious. Don't wanna spend the extra money to get the Panasonic changer if I don't need to.<ul><li><a href="http://www.blitzsafe.com/blitz_catalog/blitz_catalog.html">http://www.blitzsafe.com/blitz_catalog/blitz_catalog.html</a</li></ul>

Default Alpine changers can also come with an FM Modulator, which we used in my wife's Jetta as

she is using the stock head unit. Here's how it works:

There's a separate controller, a little larger than the face of a credit card. When you want to use the changer, you turn the power on on the changer controller, and set your radio to 87.9 FM. In my wifes car, we made it a preset. And, voila, you hear the CD changer. My wifes cost $400 installed, with the custom face plate and installation of the controller. Sounds good, considering she's using the ****ty Monsoon factory speakers.

Oh, and its the EXACT same changer as mine, which interfaces with my Alpine head unit, negating the need for the changer controller. So, the changer is the same, its just the controller that is additional (really free as they charged me the same amount for my changer, and I didn't need the controller; THIEVES!!).

Hmm, I would like to know of a non-FM modulator solution. Know of any?

Default Not that I know. Sorry. But really, other than the inconvenience of having two power switches, and

having to set your radio to another station, it sounds excellent.
