That 12 pin female end sounds more along the lines of a Panasonic
(Matsushita).

Could be an urban legend, but I seem to remember from somewhere the changer
12 pins had # 1 & 12 reversed to make it an OEM specific (proprietary) item,
so you couldn't buy the Kenwood, Alpine, Sony brand at the time and just
swap in components / cables.

Maybe a further search or crutchfield might have some leads?

text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Any electronic pundits hanging here?My old
URQ came with a very nice Nakamichi tape deck (TD-45Z) connected to a
Pioneer 12 disc CD changer in the trunk. The changer never worked from day
one, and I decided to finally check into the issue. It was determined that
the changer itself was dead.I have since purchased another Pioneer changer
(CDX-P1280), and I didn't do my homework sufficiently and ended up with a
unit that will not as I had hoped "plug and play" with the cars wiring.I had
an FM modulated changer, and I purchased a NON FM modulated changer that
came with a long control cable that has two rectangular 12 pin female
(socket) ends. The deck has a 12 pin round female CD control output/input on
the back plate.Any wa
 y of making the 2 units play nice via an adapter? I have tried repeatedly
to obtain a wiring diagram for the Nakamichi to no avail. I have the correct
plug (and pig tail) for the deck (harvested from and older Audi at the
breakers), and thought about cutting an end off the changer cable to make a
"hybrid" adapter. I don't want to ruin the Pioneer cable if these 2 brands
won't talk to one another. Also, without wiring diagrams for both I feel it
would not be possible to splice an adapter.Any possibilities? Anyone want to
buy a factory refurbished CDX-P1280?TIA   Dennis
