The '''Aiwa Mega CD''', also known as the '''Aiwa CSD-G1M''', is an Aiwa CD player which can also play [[Sega Mega Drive]] and [[Mega CD]] games.  
Probably the most unusual of any incarnation of the [[Mega Drive]] was the '''Aiwa Mega CD''' (also known as the '''Aiwa CSD-G1M'''), which was built around an Aiwa CD player.

The Aiwa Mega CD, also known as the Aiwa CSD-G1M, is an Aiwa CD player which can also play Sega Mega Drive and Mega CD games.

The unit is made up of two components - an Aiwa bookshelf-size CD radio and a dock which added the Mega Drive connections (apart from sound, which the main radio unit handled.) Oddly, Sega and Aiwa chose not to place the interface between the two on the sides that would connect, but instead opted to use a connection cable on the back. This variant of the Mega Drive is one of the rarest made, and only saw limited release in both the Japanese and European markets.
