Hi all

how the sod do you get this radio out.

As radio has car cd changer button.. I am assuming this would mean there is a audio in no the back some where? as i want to attach a aux to 3mm female jack to feed me ipod direct into it.

Or if any one has a cheap and cheerfull soultion (not keen on them FM Transmitter as quality is crap)

If your pop out the door looking and interior alarm sensor/dark button to the sides of the radio, there are some screws behind there. No special tools required.

I have a connects2 in one of our C5s, it plugs into the CD changer port on the back and gives a jack plug for an ipod/phone. I've routed mine through the centre console and out through the rear ashtray, so its out of sight when not in use.

Should be easy enough to connect a cable my self to the aux ports?

bit of soldering maybe but should be find ?

For got to ask...

I assume the radio will know that something is attahed to the cd changer port?

So that the button works on the radio?

I would assume just soldering the audio bits for a jack will not work, as the stereo would want to "talk" to the cd changer, hence why this has the little box to go with it, and isn't just a direct cable.
