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."

I have the JVC model with the USB plug on the front in my yellow z, that is one nice radio. I can hook up the USB drive, my Sansa MP3 player by the USB cable and it will power it on to access the files.
I am not a big fan of the rotary knob, but I had to compromise to get the USB connectivity. Its also a MOSFET powered radio, and the sound is really good. http://support.jvc.com/consumer/product.js...elId=MODL027693 BTW, I have a JVC fanatic. That car has a JVC: Mosfet amp, head unit, 6x9 450watt speakers, and had a CD Changer until it broke. -------------------- ~Lucid is a state of mind~
