Awesome forum - I've been looking for this place for some time now
.
Like many people here, I'd like to hook my portable MP3 player up to my factory head unit (I've got an '00 EX-Navi).
While it would have been fun to attempt to reverse-engineer the M-Bus and build a direct plugin, I decided to go low-tech (but higher cost) and I had the underseat CD changer installed. I intend to simply play a CD and inject the mp3 player's audio in place of the CD changer.
Does anyone have the pinout of the Molex connector that goes to the changer? It will be easy to find the audio signals of course, but I was wondering if maybe I also had to deal with a separate audio ground, so I figured I'd ask here before I spent too much effort on it.
I don't really mind hacking up the cable, but I'd certainly build my own harness if I could find a male and female Molex connector like the one used by the CD changer.
Does anyone know where I'd go to find such things? There's nothing obvious at the major interconnect manufacturers (Molex, Amp, etc.), and the standard attachment cable has two males on it.
