that came with the autotoys Pioneer CD changer that so many of us bought from Autotoys.com I searched at autotoys found nothing hopeing some one could give me a link so I can buy online. I am having trouble with my cd changer need to replace the peripheral interface and of course the warranty has expired by thirty days oh well.

I just bought the Alpine S260 from Autotoys and it came with the interface. I had problems and Autotoys claimed it would not work with the premium sound system (I had power but no sound). I contacted a company called "Soundgate" on line and they claim the interface box Autotoys sells / includes is theirs with the label removed. The person at Soundgate told me to remove my head unit from the dash and check the plugs. Sure enough, the lower plug was not engaged properly by BMW. Once I hooked that up the changer gave me sound...kewl.

Bottom line to you? Soundgate does sell the interface...not cheap...they told me around $120. They also told me they may try to go after Autotoys for using their units and removing the labels...they claim Autotoys is doing this "gray market".

Hope this helps.
