MP3 player into Monsoon?
As stated before, search on this forum JASON NOVAK and I sent him my radio a few years back and he modded it for me, I have a 1/8 mini plug female in my glove box I plug my ipod into works great, I think it was $35 to do the mod but dont quote me, why do it yourself when he will?
NO, it wont let the radio control your ipod but it will play your ipod mp3s in your stock monsoon stereo just fine, so you will have am, fm, tape, cd, and ipod in w/your factory radio if you want to keep it stock like some of us do.

is the jason novak thread where he takes apart the unit and does some soldering? if that's the same one you're talking about, his mod applies to only some units (like i'm sure mine only applies to certain ones). i tried taking mine apart and the wiring was completely different from the color codes.
i didn't know that the b&w striped wire was audio return. the original post i went off of said it was the ground. i suppose you could try doing a solid ground wire. either way you got a 50/50 chance of it working. if it doesn't work just swap the wires and tap into the striped one.
i mean with the way i have it wired, there is no problems with the sound quality. if you try a solid black wire and it works, try comparing it to the striped wire and see which one sounds better, or if there's even a difference.

The black with white stripe is the audio signal ground (actually, common negative) and the solid black wire is chassis ground for the changer's power circuit.
