STOCK radio aux/input hack? has it been done?
Just curious if anyone has done this to a stock head unit or the cd unit. I have both, radio works fine, i dont know about the tape unit, the CD unit is of typical fuctionality at this age....none (spits alot) :barf: ...anywho, i was wanting to hack in an auxilary input for use with an MP3 player, not necassarily an ipod. if anyone has done this or can offer any suggestions (outside of buying a new head unit) that would be great.
thanks in advance for any input on the subject. turn your head and cough! _M |

I think the only way is to check if the tape player works and use one of those old tapes that has the headphone input connected to it and plug it into your mp3. Pretty sure thats the only possiblity.

Yes getting one of those "cassette to aux" input devices works well - I've been using one for a couple of years now.

You'd be better off just swapping in an old Legacy Headunit or swapping in one from a newer car. Trying to modify to do it is very difficult.

Try doing a search for pinouts. I think andvic has a diagram in his locker for the cd player input. If you're ambitious enough you can get sound in through there. I might have them on my computer if you can't find them searching.

The pinout idea was what i was gunning for...awesome...i will search on and about (i did a little searching but didnt find anything)
if anyone else has any info, please chime in. I dont mind splicing and slicing. :) thanks again! |

I don't understand why with as many bells and whistles that these cars had, that they didn't have an aux input (Granted, what else in 1992 besides a CD player would you plug in?)

I did this some time ago, but I have replaced the stereo now. The 13-pin connector is easier to play with than the 8 pin. The problem I found was that I was powering my mp3 player off the lighter socket and you get a loud rpm whistle over the music. Better to use the filtered power provided by the radio and step it down to what you need with a voltage regulator.
Below is the connector from the P411 radio to the P511 single slot cd player or P611 cd changer controller: Quote:
