Can I upgrade some day to get a crisp digital sound as per normal CD by getting the tunner(FM) disconected and a good CD player. Sorry the question got very muddy! Will I still be able to make use of the changer if I get a CD system installed? Thanks in advance!
P.S. What do you think about Pioneer? This will be my first Pioneer system. Are they reliable?

I'm not sure about Pioneer, but I know that Sony RF modulated changers are the same as the others but come with the modulator. That means that in the future you can get a Sony CD player that controls a CD changer and it will work. I'm not sure if pioneer does this, but it makes sense so I hope they do. If not, you will be limited by the FM tuner.

I bought my wife am Fm modulated Sony 10-disc changer 4-5 years ago. About a year later I picked up a Sony CD controller HU and it made a huge difference in sound quality. Now the system is in the SVT. I had to replace the changer a couple weeks ago and checked that the connector was the same. Sony has a different plug on the FM modulated changer than just the plain changer. Dunno why. Same price, but I'm glad I checked it out.
Anyway, look at the connector of the changer going into the modulator unit. Then check out a HU at the store to see if it is the same.

BUT, if you dont plan on changing the head unit the FM modulate sytems work fine! I actually have one of these in my car now. The biggest sugestion I will give you is to make sure that the station you are going to use in your car to match up with the cd player has NO radio station on it with in the area that you usually drive. This will give you the best clarity from the cd player and you will have no bleed over from any radio sations in the area. Who is this guy? Member #0? Click on his profile and see what you get.
