One step closer to Intravee......
I found an Alpine CD changer, an Ai-Net version (CD-S624 is the model) - bought it to use with my Intravee switch as I dont want to lose the changer functionality - have the KCA 420, the Intravee switch and all I need now is to buy the Intravee II and some cables (I think!) ...... does that sound right Sanj???

Re: One step closer to Intravee......
If the Alpine components come with their cables then you will need one extra cable for the Intravee switch.
BMW -> Intravee uses the BMW CD Changer connectors.
Intravee -> Switch requires one AI-Net cable.
Switch -> CD Changer uses the 5m AI-Net cable that should come with the changer.
Switch -> KCA-420i uses the 2m AI-Net cable that should come with the KCA-420i.
Apart from the odd AI-Net extension cable that comes up on e-bay (with one male and one female end) all AI-Net cables have the same functionality regardless of length. Usually with the Intravee you want the shortest cables you can get, but using longer ones is not a problem if there is a place to locate the bundle of wire.
