[QUOTE="aidilj, post: 490391, member: 20536"] Hi johnnybean The signal can be tapped from the CD changer output like in the picture below. There are two connectors that connects to the CD changer, the audio signal is the connector on top - white wires with brown (ground), blue (left) and red (right) stripe. The other connector is the power and I/K bus wire (brown [ground], red with green stripe [positive] and white with red and yellow stripe [IBUS])which you want to keep connected to your head unit to be able to control the CD changer. [B]You are right that taking the signal from here will have the correct AUX impedance but hope you thought about handling the gain from this output because AUX line has fixed gain so does the amplifier. Connecting this directly to the amplifier will result a very loud volume that may damage your equipment. Hope you considered this already. The gain is normally handled by the head unit where you control the volume.[/B] Hope this helps.
