anyone have a link for the howoto? aka tape deck mod on the MKII 4:3 radio ?
I'm finding instructions, but not in english. I did this mod before on a buisness cd and it worked great. I have no desire for the 16:9 display so if I can get this 4:3 to work it'll be fine for me

Ok so intercepting the twisted pair outputs from the tape deck that go to the drunk DSP amp with a Pac DL10 line driver, works good but missing some low frequency and it's not as loud as the radio without cranking the ipod volume and that adds distortion. Could be polarity mixed up I did not have the wire polarity so I winged that.
It's also not quite loud enough, anyone wanna recommend a better line driver that'll work?

Bump.
Same issue. It works very good and clean. But volume is about 40% of max. If we compaire with fm/cd.
Is there work around?
I used a 3.5 aux wire tapped into the tape lines. Buy a $20 3.5 in/out signal amplifier from amazon to run between the splice and the headunit. They are powered by usb. I also broke open a cigarette usb plug, saughtered a power and ground wire to it, tapped in the 12v radio harness to power the signal amp. Everything fits behind the head unit. This is how i installed my xmsirius commander unit.
