off topic, stereo question help
I have a non-corvette oe car stereo from a late 90's Honda which serves as a controller for a separate CD player. The CD player plugs in to the stereo using a 7 pin plug. I would like to sh*t can the cd player and use the 7pin plug to adapt a jack to play my ipod through the stereo. Can I assume that if I find the correct 3 wires of the 7 pin and wire it to a female headphone jack, when I hit the CD function of the radio, it will let me use the car stereo as an amp for the ipod. I am not expecting to control the ipod throught the radio, just to be able to have a hard wired connection to the cars amp.

Does this stereo you want to use have RCA input? If so, there is a cable you can buy that will plug into your iPod and plug directly into that stereo as an AUX in and that will work.
I doubt you'll find an adapter to convert that 7 pin plug to an AUX in for an iPod.

If your dead set on using a cassette deck, throw that honda radio in the trash and buy something like this:

It'll outperform that factory deck, and it already comes with a aux input for an ipod. You spend more money than that trying to rig something for the honda radio.
Best of my knowledge PAC made adapters in the late nineties to add aftermarket changers to factory head unit's...maybe there is something that will convert the changer controls to a L/R RCA input.
