Let’s talk CD Changer and iPod Switcher
A New Type of iPod Input
I decided to build my SC-816 CD Changer and iPod switching device. It has been installed in one of my 2000 V70XC’s. It works very well. Sounds no different than it did when I had the CD Changer only.
I am very pleased with it (considering that is a prototype)

This particular design uses the USA SPEC PA11-HON device with the CDL-VOL cable. Any iPod adapter (Blitzsafe or USA SPEC)can be used with this circuit. You could have 2 CD Changers or 2 iPod adapters or 2 MP3 players (via a USA SPEC or Blitzsafe with AUX INPUTS) – or a mixure of any two devices connected. The design doesn’t care what you plug into it. The antenna switch uses the OEM switch and wiring cable to connect to the HU. I use the 12V from the antenna switch going to the antenna wiring in the rear to switch a relay. Works like a champ!
