Hi guys (and girls),

Was wondering if anyone knew if i could connect a MP3 stacker up to my existing deck. I already have a CD stacker but would like mp3. Only trouble i have is that my stereo is an addzest unit so i'm wondering two things:-

a) does clarion make an mp3 stacker?

B) will it connect to my existing azzest head unit?

Appreciate any informed responses that people can offer.

Cheers! :P

while i dont know definetly..my answer would be 'i doubt it'

mp3 decoding of the cd is done in the headunit itself, the stacker i dont think does anything except scan and read the cd in the magazine slot and send all the info the the headunit to decode and interpret.

as for the clarion mp3 stacker availibitly question, i dunno, check www.clarion.com or .au to see whats around.

8 hours even gets a bit low once you get used to mp3 - as you often decide you only want to listen to a couple of albums on each compliation, and end up swapping discs all the time anyhow (I've found).

There are definitely mp3 stackers available, that can stack mp3 discs giving hundreds of hours of playback. Definitely a good investment if u hate changing cd's.

Thought I'd add in to this one...

1) MP3 decoding IS done by the CD stacker, it decodes and sends plain audio signals to your head unit.

2) Clarion do make a MP3 stacker, unfortunately it's in their DVD stacker... Whether an Addzest (Japanese Clarion) stereo will connect to a standard Clarion stacker is another matter, but both the Addzest and Clarion Australia stacker share the same part no. (VCZ625). Will also depend on what series your stereo is, but most manufacturers design things so they are backwards-compatible. You may want to call Clarion to confirm.

Hope this helps!

Thanks very much all for the replies.

I will have to investigate further with clarion. My head unit is CeNet compatible and fairly top of the range by the looks of it. Will definitely look into it further. Maybe if i get DVD stacker i have just the excuse to buy that TV i've been wanting for a while :uh-huh:

I bought a kenwood 10 disc mp3 stacker about 2 months ago, which decodes by itself, and runs through the head unit, which isnt mp3 capable

Ill find the model number if you're interested

Cost about $530 for the stacker and $200 for the head unit

I gave up trying to find a stacker that would suit my stock head unit, and that was my best value for money option in the end, save going for an fm modulation unit, but the sound quality is better out of the kenwood head unit anyways, plus the stock didnt have a line out to feed my subs

Enjoy!

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
