Searching for a new head unit last night with an aux plug for my MP3 player I found an adapter plug for Pioneer head units. It plugs into the socket for the cd changer on the back of the HU. The plugs cost $35!!! Searching around for a cheaper adapter plug I found a sight that had instructions on how to make one and it even had the pin out for the HU. This only works on the Pioneers that control an externall cd changer, but I'm sure if you have another brand with that function you can make one too if you get the pin out for your HU.
I made mine this afternoon in about 5-10 minutes with parts I had at the house. It works GREAT. Now I don't have to pack around all the cd cases in the back seat anymore. Here's the link: MP3 adapter -------------------- Not alot of people can point at something and say, "I built that."

Blaupunkt has a AM/FM tuner, no CD player one with a SD card slot on it, & is on the face, so you cab simply stab in it & go. I like that better than carrying CDs anyways. And it has a 35mm plug in the front, that I guess could be used for iPod input. And an optional USB adapter accessory input. And built-in CD Changer controls, if you wanna play CDs.
 Blaukpunkt Melbourne SD27 I haven't seen it locally though, but haven't looked real hard either. -------------------- |

(pronounced Bl-ow-puh-nkt, not Blue-punk, btw) It's one of the better manufacturers. I had one as my first car radio and I owned it for 15 years (yes, FIFTEEN years). Didn't have a single problem. But then again, I bought it in Europe and imported it to US myself so I KNOW that I got a good one from Germany. Maybe you have only experience with the Taiwanese exports that are manufactured for the US market?  Lou -------------------- "People suck, life blows, now that's what I call equilibrium!"
