PunterHunter Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi All,Have been a MD user for may years and have a rather old (but fully functional) MDX-CA790 in may current car. I want to be able to connect my i-pod and through other searches found a unilink PC7-100 adapter, which is supposed to make the head unit believe that a CD Changer is connected which then allows the aux-in (which is used for the CD audio-in) to be used via a normal minijack-to-phono lead. I bought one of these but it's been rather unsuccessful; only seems to work when the ignition is on, but car not running. as soon as you actually start the car the only function that becomes available is the radio - not even the MD!!Anyhow, the point of this post is to ask if anyone knows of a Sony (or other) MDLP compatible MD/ Radio that has a stand alone aux-in that does not need to have a data-bus cable attached to make it think it does ;0(I've tried google but can't seem to find what I'm looking for...Any advice greatly appreciated.
