The only possible issue is that with my stereo, it knows it doesn't have a multichanger pluged in, so what makes it think there is one there? It might need to be fooled into thinking it is there?!

I hope that makes sense to everyone!?!?

indeed, this is why you need to pay £70 for a blitzsafe or similar. it fools the HU into thinking you have a Changer fitted. So as it stands, you could hack the changer cable the same way, by tapping into the cable, but you would need to leave your changer connected also for it to be recognised, and allow you to select Changer from the HU

using the Tape methood is far easier, and gives the same sound quality. Lets face it, you say no one uses CD;s well thats nearly true now, but some still do, but NO ONE uses tapes, so i have no issues with disabling my deck and using it for AUX

and my music collection is at about 120GB so i could not fit it on a USB!, hence the need for the Ipod

i will be having a look at the tape deck tomorrow and trying to disable the eject and the motor. then i will stick closed the tape flap, so it becomes a tapeless HU
