No-one's ever produced interfaces from one brand to another,
presumably due to the large numbers of variations they'd need to
develop.


2 - If not, what if we put the original VW radio cassette back in - I've
seen adapters on the Connect 2 site that say you can fool the VW kit
into thinking it's seeing something it knows (a VW changer?) and the 3rd
party changer thinks it's seeing a HU of the same brand. Is that right?


Yes, but you won't get an interface for a JVC changer AFAIK.


3-If none of the above are likely am I safe to assume if I buy a new
(cheap) Sony changer, such as the CDX-656, it will just work with my HU?


Any of the current changers should work OK (CDX-T69, T70MX, 757MX and
656).

Brilliant! Thanks Jon. I thought that was the case but just wanted to be
sure before doing anything rash. A Sony it is.

cheers,
