The sure way to know: if you go to DSE to look at it and it has only 3 solder pins, then its a non-switched plug (non-prefereable). If it has five solder pins, then its a switched plug.


yeah I went and had a look and only three plugs ... did you get the ones from jaycar ?

Ok My bad, i had another look and i take it you cut the right output from the stacker, and tis is also the input to the DPS, same with the Left output, and the common is just spliced in

My CD stacker is dead, showing 'ERR 2' or something on the display. Can I still patch in the mp3 input, or does the stacker have to be powered up for everything to work?

markwright - there is no elegant way to do this, as while the audio signal is a normal analogue signal from the stacker to the head unit, the stacker control is all digitally encoded. So you must have the original stacker plugged in and a CD playing for the head unit to accept audio signals via the audio in. Were you to find an MP3 compatible stacker that used the same digital coding from stacker to head unit then that would be okay, but the likelihood of this is low given its a 10 year old car.

The only way would be to retain the existing stacker and just cut in the audio feed from a new MP3 stacker, and control the new stacker using a separate remote. That way you press play on the head unit, the original stacker fires up (unmuting the head unit in CD mode), and you then press Play on the MP3 stacker remote and cut in the new audio signal. Not real elegant.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YBHVE4, I'm not real handy with mods (my Suzuki Sierra has been off the road six months now with an engine rebuild......) but this is easy as. Just be careful and patient and you should be done in two hours tops.

I was going to get the plug in FM transmitters, etc when i heard sometimes you get static and I saw these instructions I have swayed this way.

IM going to give it a go.....fingers crossed all goes well.

For an EF series 2 ghia, does it use the same stacker as the series 1??

I made up a patch for the din plug, I un-plugged the din plug... turned my head unit on and my CD was still playing... even with no din plug connected!

When I disconnected the DIN plug, the rear speakers went off... so I'm assuming the DIN plug runs the amp?

I'm just wondering am I supposed to use the DIN plug or am I meant to use a different plug??


EDIT: found I had to follow the EL guide, the round din plug is only for connecting the amp for the rear speakers.
