Sure - if you can find the model number, I will take a look. Looks like a fruitless search for answers on using a European changer

So how did you get that radio to work the right frequency? Or do you care?

The MDX-CA680x is MDLP only... no CDs, let alone MP3s...

Kenwood actually had a 1DIN MDLP+CD unit in Japan. Lack of MP3 is not a problem for me if I get that one, but the tuner frequency kills the deal - plus the high price (like $1300CDN after exchange rate conversion). I like the convenience to change the disc inside (MD or CD). Maybe the second best option is to have a normal CD/MP3 changer in the trunk, driven by an MD head unit - just that I don't like to run long wires that's all.

Hmm if I had a huge MD collection I'd just get an FM Modulator installed so I could plug a portable MD player into a sweet single din MP3/CDRW deck. In MP3 format, all my good music fits onto 4 CDs with 140-180 songs per CD. The 2002 Subaru single din pocket is nicely finished and in my opinion is alot more functional than paying 60% more for a double din deck that likely only adds tape playback to the deal.

I have a Pioneer DEH-7400MP head unit and a plain black 98' Subaru single din pocket that I got for free from my Subaru dealer. I'm going to order a 2002 style pocket next time I go in for service. Oh the 02 pocket has a sleek concealed push-spring lid system and the 98 has the "button on the bottom" style lid opening that's not nearly as slick.

Here's a pic of my current setup (sorry bout the big dark pic):
