this is fantastic. I'm kind of a purist with my Fiero and would love to get back to the factory stereo and still have my music.
My son will get the blaupunkt mp3 unit!!

Great idea and writeup. I did something similiar to my truck. I used a rocker switch instead of the disconnecting receptacle. I didn't even know about those at the time. I think I'll redo it. BTW did you get the receptacle locally?

I got my jack from an old mac motherboard. Specificly an LCII. Beats paying money.

I got 5 jacks at an electronics surplus store for $0.59 each.

Have been reading with interest, my Pioneer AM/FM/CD took a dump after 3 years in the car, have this waiting in the wings to possibly go back in, with the mp3 conversion.

I'm guessing this would take input from a pc as well? I've been wanting to hook up a carputer and use it for mp3/dvd etc.

This will take an input from any common audio source.

As for newer radios, it should still be doable with some fiddling. Again my offer to do the modification myself comes into play. I've figured out how to make crazier modifications in the past, so I don't mind giving it a try.

Jax are you on the local email list. A few people were interested in something like this. So I am sure this thread will be of great interest to more than a couple of local people.
