Hi folks,
I've been looking for an easy way to add an aux port onto my 9-3 1999. I've read the posts that lead to the blogs and sites that talk about modding the radio and patching the boards on the radio so the phone input becomes stereo and is used for an aux port. I'm worried that I'll mess something up if I go that route. I then read the posts and sites about cutting into the CD changer cable and putting in a switch to switch back and forth between the changer and an aux port. This seemed much easier. The trouble is, I don't have a changer and I don't want to shell out the $500 for the changer just so I can plug things into an aux port (I am just a poor grad student, after all).
Therefore, what I'm looking for is a way to trick my 1999 9-3 5-door factory installed head unit into thinking that there is a changer, that it is loaded, and that a cd in it is playing. I figure if its possible to do this, I can still use the changer cable already there for the aux port. I was hoping someone might have an idea about shorting out some part of the cable or something. Does anyone have any idea how I might do this?
Alternatively, more info on changers that would be compatible with the head unit in my car might be helpful. I've looked on eBay and I didn't find any other than new for full price. If there is a compatible changer I'm unaware of (though I thought only the saab branded changer that can be married to my car would work with my head unit) that too might be helpful.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
