Okay, I finally did the Mach upgrade to my very base model SE. Now I would like to figure out how to put an iPod type input on this stereo so I can play music from my phone or iPod.
This car does not have a CD player of any kind in it, therefore it only is using two plugs. The amp plug and the grey tape input plug.
The question is, can I hook up some inputs to this mach amp that will let me play music from my phone, using the CD plug?
The issue I see is how the dash unit will know there is something plugged into the Mach amp in the trunk and actually switch it over?
Since this car never had a CD player in it, there is no wiring for that going from the dash unit to the trunk unit. That is where the rub is.
Below are some pics of the CD plug that I cut from the donor car that I got the Mach amp from. Can anyone tell me what the wires in this plug do, and if I can make a harness to let the dash unit talk to the trunk unit and bring in the music input?
Thanks for the help.
