[QUOTE=aEO 37;7488177]Think it was posted before in this thread but an easier way instead of downloading a silent cd is to just flip a cd in you cd changer upside down and load it. It will display and error message on the screen but it will work[/QUOT
Yup... got the answer

Thank you for the information sir, I have a fellow member do this for me, everything works, except my aftermarket sub doesn't work with the setup. If you guys do not want to use a blank cd, you can also put the cassette tape adapter for mp3 in the cassette area and it will work perfectly.

So I understand the removing the head, but how does it work? U still splice into the same wires for the CD changer and press tape?
And on the wiring, do I just tap into the wires for speaker Right/left +/-? In other words cut the wires and connect them to the adaptor the wire that was cut do I just tape it off or connect it to the new adaptor and wire?

Are you taking the metal head out of the tape so you don't get the hiss? I want to be able to keep all 6 CD's able to play, but want the IPOD to work too. So I can basically put in the dummy tape because the IPOD plays regardless of what function of the radio I am using? Is that correct? So by pressing tape there is no sound except for the IPOD's audio?
And just want to clarify the wiring splice into and rejoin or splice and replace with new adaptor wire and tape off other end of speaker wires I cut?
THX, gonna do this tonight!!

First off, great DIY. I did the same thing to my Infiniti a few months back.
Been thinking about doing it to my GS and came across your post.
I want to use the panel mount jack for the input and want to try to stay away from relays and all that mess and I like how you did it but I'm curious why you have it hooked up the way you do. The jack itself is only a 3 conductor plug. On the jack pin 1 is Ground. Pin 2 is one positive output, Pin 3 is the input of pin 2 when no plug is in the jack, Pin 5 is the other positive output, and Pin 4 is the input of pin 5 when there is no plug in the jack.
With no plug in the jack : 4 is connected to 5 and 2 is connected to 3. 1 is to ground.
With a plug in the jack : 4 and 3 are open connected to nothing, 5 and 2 are connected to the plug. 1 is to ground.
So my question to the OP is why do you have 3 and 4 connected to the negative side of the wires when they don't do anything when a plug is inserted into the jack? The jack is meant to interrupt the positive signal coming from 3 and 4 and use the plugs positive signal on 5 and 2. The ground is shared coming from the headphone plug.

In other words the tape is used instead of the blank cd
