The CD changer to AUX input adapter fits in the area below the head unit on my 300TDT. I was able to just squeeze it in. I think there is some logic that must be used so the head unit properly "sees" the CD changer so I ended up buying an adapter unit that includes the logic and the proper connector. I have the 1/8" plug and cord stored in the ashtray area right now to keep it out of the way until I find another cleaner way of setting it up.

The new head unit also has four outputs for speakers so it eliminates the need for a center console fader so I need to take an old fader apart and use it to make an adapter to run wires to the head unit's other two speaker outputs. It will avoid the need to cut up any stock wiring to the speakers.

There's also a Weather Band on the 1492 in case anyone needs to know the weather as well.
