What I'm doing to hook things up will be AMAZING when finished, I won't say anymore till I have the parts.

The HU simply believe'* it'* the tape input, the additional circuity and fancy things I have on order will allow me to dynamically select CD or AUX. Since the stereo isn't designed to have an AUX in at all it doesn't even know what'* going on. This is just a complicated way to trick it

Oh, something I forgot to say, it'* impossible to put a 1/8 input on the front of the stereo, behind the ENTIRE face is a PCB for all the controls/lights.

Plus, that would destroy the super stock look I'm going for.

You'll see when it'* all done.
