I've been looking for a step by step like this for a while. Most things out there are for the standard unit with the 8-pin adapter work around. First question, did you ever confirm that this will work with the 2001 6-disk in-dash changer? Second, is there any status update on restoring the pictures? I was wondering if maybe you still had them on a hard drive somewhere and could email them. I am going to message the admins as well to help get these pics posted again.

Thanks,
Chris

The links to the images are still there. I looked. Whatever site they are linked to is no longer hosting them.

Edit to add:

Here is the site that is/was hosting the images.

That is unfortunate :P XOC thank you for looking that up, though.. I will still try to track down the images.

I'm still interested! hopefully you can find those photos! If not can you post how to wire the switch... I'm thinking thats my problem

Still nothing I take it? man I want this mod so bad!

so does an one know how to wire the switch? I have HU input and output, then CD input and output, and then the stereo jack input and output now how do I connect those to a 3PDT switch?

Im intrested too. Would love to see the photos to do this mod.

http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?cmd=print&id=11735 I found this one and It's still in the making as I need to get a new mp3 player to see if it works(the jack is f'ed), but as I have it now, only the right side of the speakers work will post back when I finish it. oh also this mod (if it works)is super simple

here are pics of it [img]http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=478474997983&set=a.478471777983.250983.556667983[/img] hope that works tell me if it doesnt!

so unless you want to use a switch to turn from aux to cd and w.e do the original mod if not try the one I posted about! I just got a new mp3 and aux cable soldered 2 wires and it works simplest mod ever, and when you plug your mp3 in, it just cuts out the cd music and plays the aux music! couldnt be more happy with this mod and its actually the most simple one ever.

take front face plate off small screw driver and just lift the tabs on top and sides should come off then


shows the back and what to do


new cord other was bust as the right speakers were only working, now both are!!! soo stoked and soo damn easy compared to another mod I was trying
[img=http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/da66ba1520.jpg]

and what you can do to ground it

working great still! had a minor problem after 15 mins of use (sound from mp3 cut out and cd played as normal), just had to wrap and solider the ground wire to the frame of the HU hope people are finding this handy

I messed up. I have been looking for a way to do this for a long time and bump into this forum. I split the ribbon wire, but when I was soldering the wire the soldering iron bumped the end of the wire where all the end pins are, and now they are melted. Does anyone know where I can buy this exact ribbon cable?

why bother with the original mod? it's soo much more complicated and easy to mess up then the one i posted... and you still have full function of cd radio and aux with out touching the ribbon!:) check mine out way easier!

made a some what better explanation on how to do the mod up above

Nice. I wish I would have done that one instead. But now I don't have the ribbon cable to make that mod work either. Have any ideas on how to salvage this project without having to buy a new stereo?

.... hmm not too sure, if the ribbon is melted maybe you could solder small bits of wire to replace what was messed up??? no clue :S
