TSP-MIKE Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 I've been searching for quite some time for a way to hook up to the Factory Headunit, so i can use my ipod. I've searched and searched. Didn't find anything for 92-97 SC's. The only thing i found is the Tape adapter (which makes a hissing noise) or the FM mod (which doesn't sound very good). So i did some testing, and now i have a hardwired input. It's Crisp and clear! I have a 97 SC400 with the Nakamichi with CD changer. Should work for other years with the same setup. Just wanted to let you guys know it's possible. Should i do a write up? Mike

I have a 1994 sc400 with a Pioneer stereo with CD changer. I've been trying to figure out a way to hook up my ipod. Thanks!
mobilyte Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 did you hijack the signal wires going from the cd changer to the headunit? i'm also guessing you are using the headphone jack on your ipod instead of the pre-amp signal outs from the ipod dock connector...wait till everybody sees the ipod integrator i'm working on, no splicing of factory wires, will amplify pure signal from dock connector's line out to same level as changer signal, and charges ipod while connected.

I've searched high and low, but still haven't found a solution to integrate my iPod with the Nakamichi. thanks, Greg
dalemurphy Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I have been searching for a hard wire solution as well could someone please email me at brenthall@cox.net Thanks Brent
budster1 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 I would be very interested in finding out what you have done as I don't wish to have a cassette stuck in the player, not do I wish to compromise sound quality as so many have mentioned with the FM transmitter. If you would be so kind to tell me what you did I would appreicate it. I was considering tapping the cassette head leads and adding an external AUX jack, but thought I'd inquire first of your technique. Thanks

Thanks I, too, would like to know which 2 wires on the cd changer input are the line level left and right. What color wires? Anyone know?
