Default i don't know how the radio itself would respond to that...

also, the installation of that piece would be almost identical to jeff's input. and, with jeff's, you get to keep use of your changer.

so, yeah, it'd be a wee bit more expensive, and take you about five more minutes for the install, but i'm going to advocate going with jeff's piece.

Default

that sacrifices a bit of sound quality, though.

Default Yes! have I got a deal for you! YGM!

I mis-read your first post.
This is the Blitz-Safe adapter, and it works great.

Get it.

Default Yes, this works great. I use it.

In order to get the adapter plugged into the 13-pin DIN cable, and route it through the area behind the seat, you need to "Modify" the rear cubby hole. Here is a view of the cable and the rear of the cubby-hole in the roadster.

I cut a small hole in the top corner of the back of the cubby hole for the connector. This material is not plastic, but a type of thin fiber-board like material. It cut easily with a hobby knife.

I ran the yellow 13-pin female adapter end through this hole from the inside of the cubby hole behind the seat. it fit snug in the hole. Then I plugged the male cable into the adapter.

I plugged a RCA male to 1/8" stereo mini plug adapter cable into the RCA females of the adapter. I replaced the cubby-hole door, and ran this plug out on the passenger seat.

JusTT a Girl,

I bought one of those connectors for my TT and never used it.

I sell it to you, just let me know.

And it will do exaclty what you want.

I would suggest replacing the Head unit, I know that you dont want to, I didn't either, but I ended up replacing it.

I think the bose factory Head unit sucks.

It was much easier than I thought and my system sound 1000 times better, with much more features!

Let me know..
