Adding iPod input to OEM Sony Headunit in BE5 Legacy Blitzen?

[feetup]

Am looking to add an AUX-In / iPod input to the standard Sony Blitzen headunit in my BE5 - from what I can tell from the headunit is a Sony MDX-G77REC and the CD is a CSX-44 unit. The Japanese manual at http://www.minidisc.org/manuals/sony/sony_mdx-g77rec_mounting.pdf shows using multiple inputs (with an XA-C30 splitter), and by the looks of it the CD player currently connects to the headunit via Toslink & Unilink so I\'m guessing I will need some kind of Unilink splitter like the XA-C30?

I\'ve tracked down an old "Sony XA-300 Auxiliary Input Adapter", hopefully this might work and I don\'t need an XA-C30!

Has anyone else fitted an AUX-In on this headunit?

Thanks,

Matt

that won\'t be standard, its probably just easier to swap the unit out for a new one,

Yeah I was really keen to keep the OEM look - I love the dancing dolphins on the Sony ;D

Fitted the Sony XA-300 Input adapter today, works a treat - give you 3 inputs in total (1 is used by the existing CD) and I just mounted it in the glove-box for ease of access:

Headunit now gives you an extra "AUX" option after "CD" in the menu:

I also replaced the band expander at the same time with a decent one (great FM reception for the first time ever!). Looks like the unit needs a bit of clean next (and the volume dial repainting!).
