I also got another unit that plugs in to the CD changer input and adds an AUX input. The input on the radio just needs to be set to CD when using the aux input.
I agree. Looks like the cable to the CD changer is not that complicated, according to the schematic in the FSM, I would build one if I had to. I think the trick will be to get a Becker head unit like the 1492 and then get a CD changer that will work with it.
