Factory Aux - MP3 input for CDR220
 

Thought this may be helpful. Just ordered an aux input cable from Becker for my cdr220. Disconnected my CD input and plugged the new cable in.

Cost around $25.00 US.

Instructions were included and couldn't be easier. Cable has 2 rca outs and bought the monster rca to mini MP3 adapter.

Now play my zune thorough the factory stereo. FYI: Factory Stereo and amp are harman kardon - plenty of power so need to just replace the speakers next.

Part can be ordered by calling or online at:

if you have a factory cd changer, you could have just unpluged it and used the rca inputs from there. The are many hacks where you can run both changer and Ipod/mp3 by putting a switch to trick your head unit in thinking the changer is on. Tom from babblers has a great write up on it.

Was it part # BNA - 1319 - 116 ?

Yep BNA - 1319 - 116
 

Yes BNA - 1319 - 116

I read the article on the hack, but I wanted a simpler solution and the ability to just plug the old connection back in when I trade up.

I'll probably get an 05 at the end of the summer, I don't like the large vents on the side but I also don't like being out of warranty.
