I have the Monsoon system with 6 CD changer. I brought my H3 to a local car audio installer on Tuesday. He connected the iPod through the AUX input on the back. He used a brand called SoundGate. Anyway, there is a wire that comes up through my middle armrest. No drilling what so ever. There is extra cable, so I can connect my iPod -- select my songs, leave it in the cup holder or put it away to keep things neat. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>So... there actually IS an AUX stereo in on the factory unit with the 6-CD changer? I have the same unit and your solution sounds very clean. I just thought that the 6-CD changer units do NOT have an AUX-in? I'm confused... Is that like an extra cable coming from the unit, but going to nowhere, where you put in your iPod? Or am I just to stupid to understand how it could be done?

There is no AUX input. The Soundgate adapter creates the AUX input. You must unplug the existing 12-pin harness from the back of the radio and plug the Soundgate adapter into that 12-pin connector slot on the back of the radio, then plug the 12-pin harness that was unplugged previously, into the adapter which has RCA cable inputs on it, from which you then run a RCA to Mini-plug adapter into the iPod.
