Help Wanted Installing A Creative Zen Micro

[stay_aliveuk]

I own a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player and I am desperate to link it into the stock head unit, does anyone know of a kit that would do the job? I have, obviously, trawled the net without success and changing to a iPOD is not a feasible option.

If I knew the exact pinouts for the CD Changer plug at the rear I could wire it in by utilising the line inputs that are normally used by a the changer but I also need to know which is the control input so that I can fool the headunit in thinking that a changer is connected and therefore it will open up the line input channels to recieve the line output from the MP3 player.

I've had a quote for £70 from Halfords for an AUX adaptor from Connects2 (connects2.com)

My radio still has a Tape deck with a CD Shuttle under the seat. I bought a Tape that plugs into my ZEN headphone port and plays though my tape deck, its brilliant. Bought mine off trusty old eBay for next to nothing.

I'm planning on getting the Halfords connector I listed above (hopefully for crimbo).

It should plug in the cd multichanger in the back of the head unit then I'll run the cable through to the centre armrest cubby hole and chuck my iPod/phone in there .

I've got an Ipod I can use it for but I also tend to keep a few albums on my phone so once I get a mobile phone adaptor (a couple of quid from eBay of course) I can plug that in as well. :D
