Not onto the loom, but opening up the head unit it can be done by replacing one of the other "inputs", AM radio, FM radio, CD ... etc.

Is there not an aftermarket kit you can just plug and play that presents itself as a CD changer?

Hope this helps

Any socket you fitted would have to be a double pole switched type,which disconnected the signal on the input ,when plugs were put in.

Owww! My ears if doing it via a mechanical / dpdt switch then solder in some big (at least 1-5 megaohms) pulldown resistors for the coupling capacitors upstream to minimise nasty loud popping when switching, cheap and it really does work a treat
