You may be able to connect it to the lead that went to your cd changer. The bad news is that you'll probably have to bypass the plugs on both leads and use crimps or a chocblock type connector. Before you do you'll need to know the wiring of the chinese unit lead. The CD changer lead from the hi-line system has two wires each for left and right audio (although there's no problem tying the earths together) power +ve and earth (again you can tie the earth with the audio earths) and lastly the IBUS wire. It may be that the chinese unit may not work with the highline if it doesn't communicate via IBUS - I don't know. I seem to recall the cd changer for the highline being different to the ones for the other stereo systems - althougth the one in our 1.8 with the non-highline system does look the same as a highline one (I haven't had it out of the glovebox to check though). Plugging the chinese cd changer into the back of the (highline) head unit is a non-starter, it's actually the radio/amplifier unit in the boot that it connects to (the controller of the highline system).
