I don't know a lot about stereos but I took a chance and bought this 13 dollar cable in hopes I could unplug my cd changer and use it to play my iPhone or iPod. I know it won't charge the phone as it plugs into the headphone jack. By the listing description I put above does anyone have an idea of if it will work? I have a cr 220 deck and the Bose system with 6 disc changer and amp in my trunk

I already turned on the AUX function on the headunit

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I bought the cable from Becker in 2007 right after I purchased my car. It was straightforward to install the aux adapter and the description of the one you listed sounds very similar.

Also I watched a how to video on you tube and the guy unplugged the cd changer in both the trunk at the changer and also inside on the head unit is that neccessary?

I used this setup for a couple of years until I finally replaced my head unit. It works fine and the sound quality is not bad. You only have to unplug the cable from the back of the 220. It is a very quick and easy job as long as you have the radio removal tools.

Thanks guys, have some of the removal tools on the way

Received the removal tools today. Which way do they go in?

Mine said 'top' on each of them.
