iPod input for '00 SE

BackInBlack... well, I've spent the last 1.5 hours reading all of that, bookmarking your mods page, reading all your mods, reading all the links from that whole thread... jeez, there's got to be an easier way LOL .

It's a great thread with a ton of good info, but I think maybe a new HU might be the way to go here. I'd prefer to keep the original look but don't want to mess with a separate tape unit.

I looked into the PAC iPAC-OEM, but according to the PAC spec sheet, the HU must have a CD/AUX button to be compatible; this one has a CD/Play button instead.

Well, thanks though, that was a tremendous effort.

The tape pause mute thing only happens when you modify a tape head unit directly. The aux tape unit does not do this.

As far as the cd/aux vs. cd/play button, I think they're the same thing. I think the people at PAC really don't pay that much attention to the button's label. I do know that there is a unit that does work for sale over on CGP at the store.

The aux tape unit really isn't that much trouble once you find a place to put the tape unit. I found that mine fits nicely in the glovebox with the equalizer/pre-amp...

The FM modulators are just a tick above crap when it comes to sound quality, and the cd to cassette adapters just plain suck... (IMO)

So you don't think this entry from PAC's application guide is meaningful?
