find the pinout for the DIN connection from multi-disc --> radio....

would be nice to switch over that way...

i've got the wiring diagram but can't find it?

shouldn't be very hard to make yourself...

you can buy a DIN connector for like 5 bucks, and both female RCA plugs (or even headphone jack) for the same or less..

you can get away with not using it, but I would throw in a line level converter, because the plug on the ipod is speaker-level output (get around it by keeping the volume on the ipod LOW)

and a little bit of testing to find out what it takes to get the radio to recognize there is something plugged in... might be as simple as having the speaker wires only, but may need a signal..

Not that easy...It's all about pins 7 and 8.

You have to tell the HU who you are and what

you want to get it to switch in the audio input.

That's why there's Blitzsafe and USA/SPEC.

There was a link for modifying the tape deck

for connecting an aux input, but it's a bit of

work and it's kinda klunky. Instead of soldering

a cable to my tape decks heads, I would rather

leave my HU stock and use a cassette adapter.

True story. The BlitzSafe box tells the headunit that it's on track 99 of disc 1.

well then nevermind :) i had a feeling it needed some info passed to it...

that blitzsafe thing is like $80 for the ipod one, which isn't bad...

i wish i was teh super-geek and could figure out what info is being passed and repeat it.... somehow..

That's pretty much what this box by supergeeks does.

And for 80 bucks to just go plug n play, it ain't bad.

The member who used to make the AUX in adapters is drlava. He would program a chip so that it would be able to communicate with the radio so that it is tricked into thinking a CD Changer is installed so that it accepts the audio input.

This is true. I still have the design and all of the information concerning assembly, diagrams, circuit boards, etc. Since I no longer have the time to build them, I'm looking for someone who is. You should be good at soldering and troubleshooting electronics. If anyone is interested in taking over this project, and building and selling them, and providing me a little commission for the design and coding, send me a PM with your past projects and experience, your goal for this project, and hopefully we can work something out.
