ElectroKen, you once again are the Shiznit! That was the cure. I hooked it up to a portable CD player my wife has and ran 12 volts to #1 and slam bam boom, I have music! I just need to find an 8 pin DIN connector that will plug in there and I will have every CD my wife owns(over 100) available for instant listening. Thanks buddy! You have just received another 5 Xterras. I meant to give them to you long ago for the always hot power plug fix. This will be a big hit on the MP3 Car site as well. I was very nervous when I touched that hot wire to the pin I had stuck in the #1. When the letters AUX popped up on the LCD and music poured out of the speakers, I nearly soiled my pants. Thanks again!
