I asked a similar question when I got my Scooby back in November ,I seem to remember hearing that Phillips sold their ICE division and that the changer is only for Phillips . I may be wrong though, try a search on this site because I'm sure it's been asked a few times before .
good luck
Dave .

As above. Basically, to coin a phrase, you're buggered.

Get a decent mp3 head unit and you'll probably find that you don't want a CD changer any more. I hardly use mine.

As Nick sayd already, if you get a new MP3 headunit then you'll probably not use the changer any more.

Your only other option is getting a 2nd-hand headunit from someone on here; I sold my original Philips HU & changer on here.
