Location: Geelong, Vic | Is it only mine or they are all like this??
I have put 1 MP3 CD and 2 normal audio CD's in the 6 disc changer and pressed the random button.
It started to play from the MP3 CD but did not play any of the others, so pressed one of the CD numbers where an audio CD was and it didn't read it. The unit, then changed to another disc but didn't recognize any of the audio CD and went back to the MP3 CD.
Then I ejected 1 of the audio CD and reloaded and started playing, pressed the CD number where the MP3 CD was and didn't play and the unit changed to the next CD!!!
So, does it mean the unit does not play MP3 CD and audio CD at the same time????!!!!

Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | I suspect it only random plays from the same CD whether it is an mp3 or normal audio...else it would wear out the changeover assembly?
If you want to try another unit (I see you are in geelong), come over to my place and I'll swap it out in 10 minutes for you...LOL |

Location: Geelong, Vic | I've tried it again just few minutes ago and realized that when playing a MP3 CD and press random, it goes to random folders and when playing audio CD it goes random discs !!
Hehe if I would swap the head unit it would be for a better one not the same... maybe later on not for now....and if I come over to your place it will be to see some of your projects you're working on & rides

Location: Russia, Perm | I use the AUX.
Here is a diagram of connection. To activate the AUX mode to: turn Off the stereo, to do this press the left handle. Then hold the disc # 1 or # 6. Thus it is necessary to press the on of the left handle. At that, the screen will display the AUX. The volume level is adjusted as usual, left handle.

John, I just say that reflash with the Australian ECU will work. However, this is a conversation for another topic. |

Location: NEWPORT QLD | Tried to install the MZ360135EX cable today with no joy Our 6 stacker MN141332 / DY-3a66u-AL has a 14 pin connector at rear !4 pin is catered for in cable instructions but connector is different - Cable instructions depict two rows of 7 while we have 6 plus 8 and the slots are all occupied Instructions say Black to 14, red to 13 and white to 12, but these are Speaker RR (-), Speaker LR (-) and ---- respectively I had no luck whatsoever in trying to remove the existing pins I have now also noticed that the male pins on back of radio are too big for the connectors supplied - they are of the smaller size tht fit the 10 pin connector that is input for phone etc Pin out diagram attached from radio workshop manual Back to the drawing board  Next step will be to hunt up the 13 pin DIN to apple cable I have somewhere and try that to see if AUX mode works via tha input BTW I have the .pdf radio manual if it is of use to anyone - will email to admin

Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | It might be the pins on the DIN socket?
I Will have a look at the schematic when you send it to me.
Might be some soldering involved....
Once you put it into aux mode it's a simple matter of injecting an audio signal into each of the pins , in series with say, a 1uF capacitor, until you get some noise...basic stuff |

Location: NEWPORT QLD | Agree, same as my next plan, but need to make up wire because front panel has to be on radio fro system to work
Should also mention that on one try with the 13pin/iPhone cable I got a com error msg in the display
So there may have to be some manipulation of inputs pins 11, 12 &13 to fool the canbus |

Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | I reckon the error is a plug disconnected.
no amount of wiring will fix the can bus com error...it looks for an intelligent digital device reply, not a resistance or signal level |

| Just tried this on mine and it works. I'm guessing you can just wire any 3.5mm cable into it. Does it auto detect when you connect a device? |
