[urq] NAC: aftermarket stereo q

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

 My .02:

If you've got a Nakamichi, you should have a unit that has auxiliary RCA inputs on the back side.  If you do, I would simply cut to the chase and dump the disc changer for an Ipod.  I've done that in my cars... the right adapters have great sound quality, and if you use the right bit-rate on your Ipod, you will have excellent sound quality... plus you can carry 200+ albums around with you in your glovebox.

To me, the CD player is now obsolete and cumbersome technology.

 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 way 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
