my 52 plate Octavia has a symphony HU, cassette deck with 6 CD changer in the boot

I've seen various things that may or may not enable me to add an additional auxiliary input. Does anyone have any experience of doing this? Please note I'm a car stereo novice when it comes to fitting them! I did do a search but I don't think what I read really helped me (yes I really am a novice!)

What I've gathered so far is that any aux input would have to share the cd changer input connections

I've seen two possible solutions

1)Auxiliary input converter

..looks like you can by audi and vw versions, but I cannot see any skoda specific ones and additionally they do not seem to indicate that the cd changer and auxillary input can be connected at the same time

2) http://www.k9spud.com/vwcdpic/ - but I can't see anywhere to buy this any more!

there seem to be different Symphony HUs around, but the manual I have is rubbish. No tech stuff in it at all and nothing about connections on the rear of he unit

NB: I did try a cassette adapter for a while which was OK until the cassette player decided to twist round the cable going into the cassette interface! For a mo thought I totally knackered the cassette deck, but having had to snap the cable to get it out, it seems to be OK.

Any help greatly appreciated!

I don't think the autochanger protocol has changed for the new Symphony HU over the old. Try this thread http://www.briskoda.net/forums/showthread.php?t=32092&highlight=aux

If you want a vwcdpic you'll have to build it! The k9spud site has all the info if you dig a little

hmmm....seems a lot of hassle to me, I don't particularly want to start drilling holes in anything, I'd rather leave everything as original if at all possible.

I suppose you could run the leads round the centre section of the dash but I'm not sure what you'd do wih the LEDs and switch?....
