iPOD connector for stock(or any) HU

[p5sundevil]

hey i was showing this to a friend the other day and realized some people here might be interested in this, this way you dont need an aftermarket HU, but if the cd changer port is the same you can use it on one if you like....anyway

I like how it says it works with any stereo, then when you read down further it says you need a compatable stereo. LOL!!!

i have a aux plug in the front of my after market radio, it looks like you can plug in a regular headphone sized male connector into it. is their a cable that apple has that i can just connect right up to the front of my head unit?

Yep! And you can also buy a direct out cord from radio shack, etc that will run from the earphone jack in your iPod to the aux 3mm jack in the head unit. Few bucks. Just bring in your iPod, someone can point you in the right direction.

hmm. no Mazda harness on that website..

jumps from Lincoln to Mercury..


and their FAQ isnt very reassuring...

9. My car is not listed on your compatibility list. What can I do?
Sorry, for now, there isn't much you can do.

Why not just wire it into the stock harness. it is very easy to do just search for what each wire is for.
it took me about 20 minutes to complete the wiring.

I to had a problem finding a harness, this was the next best problem solver*

Be wary of using the iPOD headphone jack. It's SQ is not nearly as good as the line out jack. See URL: http://members.brabant.chello.nl/~m.heijligers/ipod/Performance/measurements.html.
