I found some suitable links on the nospam forums so I'm part-way through the modification to my existing head unit to use the telephone input to accept a stereo signal. Nearly there - I've got right channel, left is a bit fuzzy but I'll be delving in there later! Then all I need is a switch to fool the system into thinking it's on phone mute. If anyone's interested, the links are (probably among others): http://www.sethevans.com/auxinput.html http://gatoalfa.calipso.com.co/radioMod/saabRadioMod.html D :-)
