You would need an Alpine Changer as it talks the same language as your Head Unit. If you used another brand you would have to use an FM Modulator to rebroadcast the signal to be able to tune it in on the FM Band which limits the sound quality.

Alpine has 2 different lines of Changers.
1st is the M-Bus Changer, denoted by M in the Model Number.
ie: CHM-S600, CHM-S601, CHM-S611, CHM-S620, CHM-S630.
These are for M-Bus head units.

2nd is Ai-Net bus Chagners.
You have an Ai-Net Head unit denoted byt the "A" in the CVA-1003. Therefore you require and Alpine Ai-Net Changer. The current 6 Disc changer is CHA-S634. Older models include
CHA-S604, CHA-S614, CHA-S624.

Hope this helps.
