Though I really doubt he needs that adaptor cause he already has the AUX inputs. I think its just a matter of how to select the AUX source on the headunit
Well, from the research I've done this head unit requires something to be plugged into the Changer bus input so that it has something to switch to. If nothing is plugged in there then it won't even allow you to switch to the AUX inputs. I've tried changing to that input channel with and without the iPod on. I thought the same thing about the actuation and that it needed to 'sense' something was plugged in so I was sure to have the iPod connected and ON - good thinking though.
I will have to decide if I want to shell out the $ for the XA300 or go get a newer deck. :dunno:
I appreciate all of you guys looking into this for me.
