Yes, it's a bit of a badge which involves intercepting the audio output from the CD changer and inserting a switch to select an external source so you can play MP3s (assuming a CD is playing). ::)

yes i understand it's a bodge, :)

my question is really to translate the words.
tried babelfish and others but they don't seem to understand the technicalese :D

folienshirm?
masse? (i'm guessing that means earth, but i'm not cutting wires at a guess),
klemme? (i'm guessing it's a colour but babelfish says wedge.
any help would be much appreciated.  :D :D :D

mostly wiring diagram.
And if there's a bit saying whatever you do don't do something. that would be handy to. :) ;) :)

AFAIK masse means ground, klemme means plug

CCT Diagram:

K1 - 3 = Left Audio o/p (To Amp/Radio)
K1 - 2 = Ground / Screen o/p
K1 - 1 = Right Audio o/p

K2 - 3 = Left Audio i/p (From MP3 Player)
K2 - 2 = Ground / Screen i/p
K2 - 1 = Right Audio i/p

K3 - 3 = Left Audio i/p (From CD Player)
K3 - 2 = Ground / Screen i/p
K3 - 1 = Right Audio i/p

K4 - 1 = 0v = cd changer / 12v = MP3 Player
K4 - 2 = 0v / Ground (PCB).

K5 - = Audio Ground (foil screen ?).

Looking at the second pic of the CD ribbon cable, pin 1 is the red stripe (lower pin on plug from the CD Changer).

pin 1 = left audio
pin 2 =?
Pin 3 =?
Pin 4 = right audio
pin 5 =?
Pin 6 =?
Pin 7 = +12 V
Pin 8 = Ground
Pin 9 = +12 V
Pin 10 = Ground
Pin 11 =?
Pin 12 =?

The bits about dont do something from what I can gather are, dont mess with anything without disconnecting the Battery and although He's supplying this info for free, its all copy righted and if He finds anyone copying He's stuff for profit He will not be a happy man (legally) and while we on that subject don't blame me if anything's not right.  :)

Hope this helps.
