You could use the UART at high baudrate to just find the falling edges
(getting a framing error a byte time after it) and use that for your decoding.

Yes, you can do that.

A general thing: most CD changer protocols require more than one line for
their communication. A naked Archos (without external uC addon) can't handle
that. I was "lucky" that Alpine uses only one pin (bidirectionally), and that
the levels are OK.
