Head unit
 
Sorry mods if im posting this in the wrong section.

Well, I want to hook up after market speakers and also a MP3 player that hooks up thru the 6 disk changer input. I was wondering if anyone has removed their head unit yet, if so, could you list the connections on it. i.e. any pre out puts or what the 6 disc changer connector looks like(if its standard or some special design).

Thanks

there is NO preouts on our headunits...sorry....and the 6 disc changer is internal to the entire unit....it doesn't plug into anything. its all internally hardwired.

Ooh, Sir Nuke you have no idea how much it pains me to say this - you *ouch* are *oof* wrong *yowww*!!

I now have iPod connectivity through my stock 6 CD changer head unit. The back of our stock head units have a 16 pin data port used to control an external cd changer unit. I purchased the following auxilliary input converter to be able to utilize this data port:

I also purchased this converter to get to RCA inputs:

With a headphone adaptor cable from Radio Shack, I am able to use my iPod through my factory HU without the loss of quality associated with cassette adaptors or the wireless RF units.

I was the first to try this, and it has since been confirmed by several members of another board. This does work!!

I believe I will definitely pursue the Dension ICELink adaptor simply to get control of my iPod through the factory HU via firewire connection. That should be awesome!!
