Default Phatnoise & CD changer???

I have a Bose system with a CD changer, can the phatnoise be installed together with the CD changer or can I only have one source to use? I would like the ability to still play CD in a changer if needed.

Default Not that I am aware of. The cable only supports one device,-->

You would have to build a custom switch box to support the second device.

Default Jeff Bipes used to make an adapter that would allow you to hook both up, and select which one

was active. I have the cable, but have yet to install it. He doesn't make the cable any more, and I don't know if there is a similar solution out there or not.

a lot of people still want that adapter. Costs too much+too much time to continue making it.

unfortunately mine came with a stone age style cassette head unit. It was like a flash back in time. I almost was looking for the 8-track player.

it would be nice if there was a Y adapter that would split both sources and the head unit would recognize both

doesn't work that way. Protocol interference. You need to switch the lines.

Default Sure, it's easy. Switch all the connections in the 13-cond cable except the power and ground.

Get the 3 cables needed, 2 male, one female.
Etch/Build a PCB.

Test it with a 'Concert' H/U or equiv. and 2 CD Changers
Put it in a box. Label it, promote it

Pay an exorbitant monthly fee to AW to advertise it.
You'll make a million.
