ai-net adapter for Factory Installed Cable

I have a 1999 xk8 convertable without a cd Changer. So I bought a nice new cha-s634 cd changer. Hooked it up to the Factory AI-Net cable in the trunk, watched it power up. Now the rub, No display on the radio, no sound or control of the cd changer. I figure the wiring on the Factory AI-Net is different than the new Alpine AI-Net cable. Does anyone know of an adapterthat would match up the signals correctly or does anyone have the pin assignments for the Factory side. I have the pin assignments for the new changer. Appreciate any help. I can always build my own with the pin assignments. JW

Aftermarker cd changers won't work as far as I know. It has to be a Jaguar CD changer with the Jag electronic signal that communicates to the head unit that it is Jag OE....

Changer

But can an existing Jag CD changer be made to work with a newer head unit? I've got an Alpine with a CD changer jack, but it is a lot different than the prehistoric 1997 cable coming from the stock unit. Wouldn't mind getting an adapter to make it all come together if possible.

Thoughts?
