Connecting iPod/MP3 to Clarion XMD-1

You're right. I said it was a stupid question.

[EchoLodge]

I tried reading through all the posts. I think the first tip is right. Its just a guess. Like I said 50% chance of getting it right. I was more worried about the diagram. I hope I got it right and it shows the male side of the plug with the actual pins. Will have to wait till next week to see if I am right.

Put mine together last night and it worked!!! Buying the 13 pin with the 6 foot cable was the best decision I made, thank you for that tip.

I am an electrical idiot. Is anyone willing to build one and sell it to me? This would make life so much easier than burning 20 cd's for the boat. Thanks in advance.

[EchoLodge]

Let me see how mine works and I will get back to you. I would charge you parts and shipping... No labor.

Did yours end up working?

Adapter

I will not know until July 6th when I pass through Parker on my way to Powell. I might send it up with my buddy who is going up to Parker over father's day. It is for his boat. I am 99% sure it will! I will let you know if it does and can build you one. It took about 10 mins to put together.

RE: It works!

I tried making this for the second time, this weekend. And in 7 pages of this thread, nobody has taken photos of the process and documented the project. So that is exactly what I tried to do. Unfortunatley the schematic shown on page 1 is almost completely reversed on a later response by the original poster. As was my first attempt at this project. So in attempt #2 I ruined my toggle switch and burned a hole in my leg. Add to that fact that this was the first time I had ever worked with a sautering gun, and could not for the life of me create good contact points for the sauter, I was unsuccessful twice. And - kind of furious because I took hi-res photos of the whole **** thing.

So - there has to be someone out there that has created this thing and then later upgraded their stereo. I would so enormously appreciate it if someone would sell me their old adapter. I'll even throw in a free The2001.com product of your choice if you want. I hate to say it, especially as someone who has disassembled and rebuilt an entire Land Rover, and completed & documented many related wakeboarding projects (sliders, Ski Nautique mods, other stero projects), I am afraid that this is above my head - yet I still really need that wire.

If anyone can help - again - I would be very very appreciative. And I will do my best to make it worth your time.

Please PM me if you can help out.

Thanks,
Erik

RE: It works!

I am making one for tmb. He ordered the parts I used and is having them mailed to me. I will take pics and post a step by step for you. It should be done by next week if the parts get to me before I go back to the river.

Will this work for the XMD2? I was asked if I could add Ipod hookups to an xmd2 and haven't been able to find any info about this unit. I haven't had a chance to look at the backside of the radio so I'm not sure what type of inputs it has. What is the difference between it and the xmd1? Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

I have completed my cable for the XMD1 and it works great. As far as the difference between the XMD1 and the XMD2, I believe the XMD2 does not have the CD changer input. The lack of the CD changer input would not allow for an IPod hook up. I have attached the manual for the XMD1/XMD2.

Does anyone have current Links for the DIN connector with patch cord, RCA jacks and Switch they would use? I have a 2002 SAN, so the stereo is mounted behind the driver. I am thinking of adding RCAs in the same panel below the stereo for an IPOD.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

[EchoLodge]

This is what I used.

1/8 mini jack instead of rca. The din plug is nice as it is prewired.
