iPod AND sat radio

Replace the cable with what?

You could replace it with something similar to what I have, which would allow you to plug the RCA isolator in.

Note the warning on this page, you need a different cable for newer iPods.

Thanks rick3000. I appreciate all of your responses.

Being the cheap SOB that I am, if the GLI between the Becker head unit and the iPod is the best way to go, I think I'll try stripping my adapter cable, isolating the audio inputs, then cutting off the GLI RCAs and splicing them together.

Wish me luck!

If you are going to try that, I would not do it on the end with the dock connector. The dock connector has 30 pins so it could be a major pain. I would try it just behind the plug that goes into the radio, because if you look at the pinout of the back of the radio you will be able to determine which wires are your left and right audio.
Good Luck!

I hear ya! I pretty much have to do it at the radio end anyways, as this is a 3-device cable. So fixing one fixes all (hopefully).

The one thing I forgot I need is something identifying what each pin does on the blue connector at the radio, to get the audio inputs.

I'll do a Search, but if you have it handy, can you post it?

Thanks.

All done! GLI seems to work great.

I'm glad to hear it worked for you!
