OK so I'm audio challenged... I put a Alpine CHA-S634 in my 2004 MCS (Non HK) with the stock Boost CD headunit. I used the BLITZSAFE DMX V.1 and a KCA-130B cable and set the Changer's Bus Selector on #2 (Mini-Bus). Why won't the changer recognize MP-3 files and play them???? Why does the headunit only display the four numer disk and track code rather than the file data???? Where did I screw up the install??? Thanks for any and all help...

Charles,
Thanks for your help. I will try this procedure again but so far no joy on getting the headunit to read MP3 files from the changer.
