I finished my iPod installation using the silver box. It turned out to be relatively easy once I figured out the wiring. I purchased a 13-pin circular DIN connector for $1.98 (+ about $10 shipping and handling) from Digi-Key. I then took an old pair of headphones that my daughter had broken and clipped off the wire. I soldered together the two ground wires and connected them to pin 7, connected the right signal line (the one which connects to the middle ring on the mini-jack) to pin 5 and the left signal wire (the end connector of the plug on the mini-jack) to pin 9.

At this point I could plug in the silver box and plug the mini-jack into the head phone out line of the iPod. Switch on the radio and press the MODE switch to get CD -- -- 0 0, press play on the iPod and there is music!

Once I got to this point i went to Radio shack and bought a shielded headphone extension cable (16 ft long) and ran it from the trunk, aroung the passenger footwell and out below the ash tray. I purchased an iPod nano dock from the Apple store and set it between the shifter and the console.

For now I put some velcro on the silver box and stuck it to the side of the trunk. I think that it will fit in the recess under the carpet at the edge of the trunk and that is probably where it will end up.

Nice work,

What is that silver box if I may ask? Is it the OEM interface with the CD changer? In other words did you just remove the CD changer... Also, does this work with the 96 S6 radio CC delta?

Thanks.

I just removed it from the non-working changer and then figured out which connector pins were used for the audio signal.

I believe it will work for the 96 delta if it still has the silver box. Perhaps 4driver4 can comment, I believe he had a delta in his 95.5 S6 before he upgraded to Symphony.

I am an stereo noob. Any chance someone could tell me how to do this and have a switch so I could still use the CD Changer if wanted?

Thanks
