Do you need to connect an Alpine dual-BUS CD changer to Alpine Mini-BUS application?

Alpine dual-BUS CD changer as the name would imply, are able to function in two BUS systems namely; M-BUS (Mini-BUS) and AI-NET (Alpine intelligent network). The ALP/Ai-F (Not to be confused with Alpine KCA-130B); allows for an Alpine dual-BUS CD changers with AI-NET socket; to connect to Mini-BUS applications. For this cable to work as described it can only be used with the following Alpine dual-BUS changers: CHA-S604, CHA-S605, CHAS-607, CHA-S609*, CHA-S634, VPA-S001 etc. Dual-BUS CD changer are identified by having a selector switch inside the magazine compartment and must be in M-BUS position 2 (or position 1 for the CHAS-609)
WARNING!! Alpine CD changers without BUS "selector switch" inside magazine compartment; are not compatible with this part. (Don't buy to try; it wont work!!)
