    Default DVD+CD in VT?

    Hi all...
    Currently my VT has a Sony XAV-C1 (DVD Player) installed. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I would be able to also hook up my old CD Player, a Sony CDX-R3410 without any real issues on the current wiring... Can anyone tell me if I'd have to get another loom installed or anything like that? (my brother believes I would, and to be honest :P I have no idea lol)

    I ask this as my old CD player produced alot better sound quality during music playback than the DVD player...
    Cheers in advance,

    Getting the sound to the speakers would be a problem... You can't have two head units connected to the same speakers.

    Do they both have line-outs? I'm thinking, if they both have line-outs, you could hook them both up to an amp, and then hook your speakers directly to the amp.

    Really? Why is that? Couldnt you use a diode on the speaker out?

    Audio is AC... Putting a diode in the speaker line is going to cut off half the wave and if you put a diode on every speaker wire you'll get no sound at all

    See the link below, refer to the half wave rectifier.
