mp3 input on factory radio ?

[son of solo]

anybody managed to connect a mp3 player to the cd multi changer input on the factory radio....if you knew which pins to use for the R/L audio line in would it be straight forward ? of course the radio needs to see the extra input somehow and the signal really should be non amplified....anybody done this? or know of a kit out there...cheers

I've got a Dension kit fitted to mine - well worth the money and haven't had a problem with it yet! Ideal if you just want to have your iPod playing through the stereo in the car!

I might have to go for this, I don't want to replace the stereo and can't wait any longer for one that works with the audio stalk. How much?

Have a look at this site:-

It's where I got mine and can't fault it so far! Had it since I've had the car and its fantastic!!

If you want to do any of the following:

1. Use existing factory input
2. Connect and Ipod to factory system
3. Replace radio with unit that will work with stalk and display

Go down to Cartronics in Byfleet...they will be able to sort you out.

They actually had the development for the stalk control done on my trophy so i know it works....Uses different 'can' start up procedure so others don't work
