Can i buy a generic plug that will fit in the changer outlet on the back of my SC-815? I need it for an ipod adapter.

I'll hack mine off and sell it to you.

thanks kevin,

i already have one from my R. I basically was looking to start from scratch and put my own wires in the plug. is this possible? do i need to get new metal pins?

Mouser.com, my friend. You can order specific DIN connectors, probably cheaper than radioshack and they are direct fits.

I'm guessing you are trying to modify the CD Changer cable to be able tap in a iPod connection. So you'll need both Male and Female DIN plugs to make a adapter instead of cutting up the factory cable. Here are part numbers for the DIN connectors:

1 PVC 6-Pin connector: 17HR806 ($1.36)

or

1 Metal 6-Pin connector: 174-2611 ($3.18)

Unfortuantly I cannot find a suitable female in-line connector, but then again I don't know for sure what you're trying to do. If you just need the matching 6-pin connector to plug into the rear of the stock HU, then here you go.

hmm,

my changer plug has 8 pins in it.

Oh, I was thinking AMP connector (must be losing it) Well then:

Mouser.com

Part Number:

8-Pin Male Mini DIN: 171-2608 ($1.18) - Warning, this may not fit without triming part of the shell, because the CD Connector uses a rare and proprietary shell. To modify the plug, just trim the shell where needed.

Now, if you wanted to build a adaptor, instead of cutting off the factory connector (that means making a adapter to put between the rear of the HU and the cable coming from the CD Changer itself), you will need a female in-line conector as well: 161-2608 ($1.17) - You may need to trim some metal off the factory shell to make it work, which is easy.)

There you go.

by the way: I saw your previous thread and you might better off building a adaptor to go in between the factory cable and the HU. Just pass all the wires, from male to female ends, except the audio ones, which will be switched between the iPod and CD changer. That way you don't need to cut the factory cable up.

i already cut off the CD changer cable. i threw my changer out because i never used it.

can i take my existing changer plug and gut it and make a new one from that? are the pins replaceable?

Hmm, so how are you going to wire up your iPod? I though you needed Alpine M-Bus emulation data on the CD Changer Data wires for the stock HU to recognize and switch into CD mode. If you keep the CD Changer, that'll provide the data needed by the HU, but just tap the audio lines going to the CD Changer and re-route the audio wiring to the iPod.

For instance, the Blitzsafe device is just a Alpine M-Bus emulator, it just tricks the HU into allowing the Audio to come in. Here is what's inside one (unfortuantly I cannot replicate it). I was curious before I installed it.

i have a fabricated adapter made by drlava (member on the board)

the problem is, i dont know which color wires in my CD changer cable are used for what.

on the fabricated adapter i know i have to connect color A to Audio Ground etc. but i dont' know what color wire is Audio ground etc.

is your ipod set up to work in your car? if so, how many wires do you have coming out of your stock CD changer plug?

[crazykn]

ah, i see. I would assume you need all 8 wires. With the blitzsafe adapter, I don't really know which wire does what, nor do I care. As you can see above, I hacked mine open just out of curiousity, before I installed it (before I joined this site/before I found the CD Changer Pin out diagram).

You can just manually wire it up the adapter to the connector (which you can purchase), with cat5 cabling. Forgive me if I'm totatlly off, because I havent seen drlava's adapter yet.
