Great explanation, I fully understand now. Thanks a bunch. Who uses CD changers nowadays anyway lol, I just wanted to make sure I understood what was going on here.
Ecause the iPod device
The short answer is you cannot have both the iPod interface and CD changer because the iPod device emulates the CD changer's position on the MOST bus ring. It is not a dedicated device. Plugging in a changer and iPod interface will simply be interpreted as 2 changers. Not designed for 2 changers so it wouldn't know how to control them. If the changers could be identified as CDC1, CDC2, etc, then maybe. But, alas, its only seen as CDC. We see iPod interface. Your car only sees CDC (which is why a prerequisite of adding the iPod interface is coding for CDC).
