iPod install question:
After searching, most go the AutoToy or Blitzsafe expensive cable route, but has anyone figured out a direct connection from the trunk cd-changer cable to the iPod that allows the head unit to sense that there is something connected to the changer input e.g. a resistor?
I have the stereo connections figured out, but the h/u won't activate the changer input- presumably because there is no/not enough load on the line in.
Guess I'm really asking if anyone has made their own cable.

u'll need more than a resistor. the headunit detects the cd changer via some logic..
the other way you can do it the way jeff bipes does it, but it requires that you have a cd changer. basically u keep the cd changer connected but you just tap into the left and right audio, but keep the power lines intact going to and from the changer.
