Can an aftermarket head unit work with stock CD player?

[Brewcity]

Hey guys...I have a 99 Tahoe with the separate CD player on the bottom under the heating and air controls...is there a good aftermarket head unit (w/o a cd player) with Ipod capabilities that will work with the separate stock cd player?
Thanks for the help and advice with this.

Why not just get a CD player with ipod capability and just forget the bottom CD player?

Good point...I guess that's an option...but I found one without a CD player that I like, and was just curious if I could still use the cd player with the new head unit somehow.

will an adapter not work if you wired it your self . . . i have the iDA-X100 h u

and it don't have the cd player just hook ups and crap which is kinda annoying

sometimes . . . but any way i ben browsing and you can hook up a cd changer to

it to play cds . . . my point is when i was browsing i seen where someone was

tlking bout usen the factory cd changer in there truck like your tlking about

and they wired it to an adapter to plug into there new head unit i didn't pay

to much attention on how they did it becouse my truck don't have that but

thats what i saw . . . browse google im sure ul see it

Unless you just love changers why go through all this trouble? Adapters can get expensive and most if not all cheap cd players come with iPod capability.

Starting at $90

last time i checked the retail on my h u it was 600 and to be honest i don't like

it all that much but i didn't pay for it it came with the truck and i have yet to

figure it completely out . . . it just gets annoying sometimes becouse you gota

download songs off lime wire onto a memory stick and when your browsing

new songs you can't listen to em before download and its just really time

consumeing when you can just throw a cd in it you know . . . i do like the h u

i just think it was waist for how much the guy spent on it

Lime wire no longer exists. You can rip songs off a cd and add to memory stick. You should look at the cheaper cd players I linked to and change it out.

Or just stream from pandora

You have to have an aux. port, BT, or an iPod connection and an iPhone.

pandora on my fone . . . iv looked every where to figure it out and i

radeo box that i guess the guy hid before he sold the truck so no one

Set one to discovery and one to scan, when they pair put in the code which you should be able to find online for which ever one you need.

well my problem is man when i click on my blue tooth on my head

unit it takes me to the first setting which is blue tooth in and that has

adapter and off its currently on adapter the other to is paired devices and visible mode it won't let me scroll past blue tooth in . . . it has one

time before a while back but when it did i didn't have my phone on me

and after i clicked out of it it would't ever let me go back to it again

so i don't understand at all . . . i always thought that the h u itself

was faulty unless theres an adapter box or something in this mess

that just isn't registering or something

had to turn off for something like for my fone to call threw bluetooth or something
