CD Changer compatibility

Right folks.
Upgrading headunit from Harmony to Symphony :lol: but I'm unsure (well, pretty sure that it wont, actually) if the Sony CD changer (OEM fitted) in the glovebox will work with the Symphony unit.

I realise the current leads wont do and I will need to buy leads to wire the Symphony to the cars audio loom. BUT, can I buy a lead to get the Symphony unit to talk to the Sony changer or do I need to buy an Alpine compatiable CD changer too (which will most probably be an Alpine changer IIRC)

Just to recap:
Current set up = Harmony HU + Sony CD + OEM adapter
Ideal (low cost) = Symphony HU + Sony CD + new adapter
Most probably (more money) = Symphony HU + Alpine CD + new adapter

Suprised either Mike or Keith haven't answered this one yet. This is right up their street.
I'm sure someone will be along to advise.
