How does the HU determine the different sources? What was your "ipod" labeled as, what did the HU think it was?

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.

Damn impressive. I wish I had the smarts and know how to do that kind of stuff. Thats re-engineering right there!!
BTW the lab you show there, is that work or school? Just curious.
