Hey everyone,
My wife just bought a used 99 Beetle, and it has the stock radio with tape player and cd changer in the trunk. Her previous car had an aux port in it so she could play all her music from her mp3 player through the radio.
This one does not have the aux port obviously, so I looked on ebay to see if there might be one that does. I came across this entry: VW Volkswagen Tape Radio 98 04 Beetle Aux Audio MP3 iPod SAT CD Control Warranty | eBay . It looks like they added one in somehow. Perhaps soldering the wires from the jack onto the pre-amp circuit.
I took apart the wife's radio, removed the cassette mechanism so I could see the board underneath. But I'm having trouble identifying the amp chip. Can anyone help with this? I'm confident of my soldering skills and have no doubt I could get this done, if only I can figure out which pins to connect the jack to.
Thanks in advance!
