Well, I'd be interested to see the published circuit. I believe there are ways to do it if the will is there. I would hope to find a better way than a relay in the CD player input too.

Oh, and IMHO the tuner in the 2006 (no experience of 2013, etc) is cr@p so that's not a good start when trying to use a modulator.

I'd say its fine to post a direct link back to his site, thats unlikely to be a problem

[Kevin Wood]

Wasn't this site, was it?

http://www.migrosser.de.vu/

Under "Farbdisplay +Line IN".

Did I mention it's in German? 

Yahoo does a reasonable job of translating it into Jedi, or so it seems, which is vaguely understandable.

Same place, Kevin.

Now found the place were I originally got it from, 'Das Opel Forum'

http://www.opel-problemforum.de/f8-car-hifi-navigation/t44440-anschl%FCsse-cdr-2005-ncdc-2015-aux-in-line-out.html

HardwareKiller is/was a Mod on thier, see half way down the thread.

I have stuck in the Parrot MKi9200.

Has conection for Icrap, USB and line in phonoearphone plug.

All works fine with my NCDC 2015 but did need to buy and Autoleads 'SOT' lead that cost about £8 for it all to work.

Sound is fine plus i have a handsfree bluetooth car kit

Ingenious - a very clever way of solving the problem !

Could you explain more please :-/
Does this not just run through the phone input and thus have a poorer sound quality, even mono?

[Dave DND]

Most of the Parrot kits have a stereo audio input, and the output is via a small inbuilt amplifier direct to the speakers through a patch lead rather than sending anything to the head unit. Only downside I see is that most of the Parrots generally only run the front two speakers, not all four?
Unless someone can advise otherwise?

[Dazzler]

Surely if this kit can do it then a lead with a jack plug could be used as well, and just plug in where this Parrot kit does :-/

[Dave DND]

The Parrot has its own small amplifier built in (2x8W ?)- it will still run even with the head unit removed, as does not integrate with the head unit at all.

So like said, the sound quality will be 0 then

Not sure it would be as high as zero

these new MKi's Dave have a 20w amp and will play through all 4 speakers. they link into the HU using ISO's and you can even get a module add on that allows you to using the cars oem steering wheel controls so that the entire system can be hidden from sigh....thats what ive concluded thus far, more info in the link below.

if i wanted to upgrade the door speakers, run amps and subs would this be the best way of doing it. i dont fancy soldering etc etc inside the NCDC itself!
i do like the bluetooth handsfree and id probably go for the mki9000 so that i wont have to mount an ugly, non-oem screen in the car

Not sure you are interpreting that correctly !!

Also, is that a 20W combined, or 20W per channel ?

The ISO connections DO NOT allow the signal to go into the head unit, its purely a lead to allow simplistic connections, unless I am missing something one the ones I`m fitting anyway !  And the steering controls are to allow the answer of the phone call, but as far as I am aware, currently only available on vehicles that have this option on the wheel anyway.

Head Unit > ISO > Parrot > ISO > Speakers

If researching, the IQ play system sounds better - still poor quality, but then if you are adamant about retaining the original head unit, it still offers a solution.
