I did this mod a few weeks ago and it works perfectly with zero problems at all. The sound quality is as good as a CD, the only issue being that if you turn the volume up too high on your ipod or mp3 player, it gets a bit distorted. However this is a problem I've had on other headunits, and is not specific to this mod.

Thanks for the writeup... just to be clear, cutting into the board WONT affect fm/am raido or cd music? Also this works with the nakamichi headunit?

If so I'm doing this mod asap!

adamgamz, PM sent.

luda42688, I'm trying to get someone to send me their HU so I can take it apart and figure it out.
But for now it works on the 98-00 PIONEER only.

Buhrt, I figured out the amplified volume out of the phone/Ipod is too high for the input of the factory amp. But all you have to do is turn it down a little and you're good.

And thanks everyone for the kind words, I'm really happy this actually took off like it did.

DAMMMM I was wishing it weren't true. When it comes to these gahd dam NAKI HU's, it seems like you can't do ***** with them. Has anyone even dropped an indash in replace for a naki unit with eas? I searched and couldnt find anything.
