I found a connector and a little box that plugs into the radio instead of the cd changer and provides you with a earphone plug. I don't have a link but I found it on the internet. Seems like it was about $75. The only thing you can see when you are done is the plug and it works great. It will play from anything that has a earphone jack. I use it mostly for my mp3 player.

Just go to Walmart etc. and purchase a 25.00 dollar or under FM transmitter. Plug up your phone and tune it to an empty FM station in your area and BAM, there ya go.

There are some on the auction site that also work as a hands free. I have one and it makes it a lot easier to answer or make a call. And it keeps you legal.

Get the parts from Dennis at Double D Mods. He knows what he is talking about and gives you a great price as well.

a $2.80 headphone jack 2740246 from RadioShack can be spliced into the CD Changer wires on the back of the radio.

I installed one on mine earlier this season, works like a charm.
I mounted the jack just above the cigarette lighter inside the ashtray compartment.

To us it all I do is play a song off the changer and plug my phone in. The jack basically substitutes the output from my cell phone for the output coming from the CD changer.



1- Ground
2-Left Channel - to the headunit
3-Left Channel - to the CD changer
4-Right Channel - to the CD changer
5-Right Channel - to the head unit

On the back of the radio you'll need to splice into 3 wires in the C2 connector. Pins 11, 12 and 13.

Cut wires 11 and 12, but on 13 just strip away some insulation.

1 - 13 BLK/WHT
2 - 11 BRN/WHT
3 - BRN/WHT to changer
4 - 12 DK GRN/WHT
5 - DK GRN/WHT to changer



An old USB extension cable can be cannibalized perfectly for this project. It has 4 wires plus a ground. Make sure it's a heavy duty cable so the wires inside it are big enough to work with. Just plug it into itself and cut it in the middle. Splice one end onto the jack, and the other end into the harness behind your radio.

sure does
it gives you an AUX input
You will be able to listen to anything including ipod with this setup.
you will just need a 3.5 male to 3.5 male cable from Radio Shack
put it into your phone like you were going to use headphones in this case your cars speakers are the head phones. You control the music from the source(your phone)

This kit does not charge anything unlike the ipod PXDP version that will also charge
