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!"

Lou  My experience is actually from almost 17 yrs in the biz, so I tend to think I know a little something when it comes to car electronics, whether it be OEM or aftermarket. Blue dot makes decent equipment. They make the stereos that come OEM in a lot of German manufactured vehicles. It's the aesthetics that I don't care about in both their contracted OEM and aftermarket units, so it's really just a matter of personal taste. I'd rather have something that looks and performs more up to date. It took Bluapunkt a while to add features to their line up that a lot of other manufacturers already had, like I-pod control, parametric eq, SD, bt, etc. To me, Blaupunkt's equipment is TOO simple and cheesy looking. But, that's just me... For the money, you can get another good brand deck with some of Blaupunkt's lacking features already built-in. This particular unit is a low powered unit (which will lead to distortion when trying to listen at moderate to high levels), has no sub pre-outs, and isn't CEA compliant.Sooo....Pioneer or Alpine for me. C'mon Lou. Don't be offended. I'm half Korean, and I talk crap about KIA all the time
