ah perfect thanks, there is no adapters out there to convert that to an rca so that it can be hooked up to a aftermarket deck via rca cables i take it then?

what do most of you guys do with that tape deck? keep it ?

if i cant hook it up im thinking about just replacing it with a plastic cover and putting some switches on that cover for accessories. ex. fog lights

what are some suggestions

 

there maybe a connector but its not really worth it if there is just get a new deck. As for the tape played i pulled it out and made a custom swtich panel from a old motherboard

 

ya i think i will end up doing something similar to what you are doing. throw in a switch for fog lights i added, and for a few other accessories that i put in. i wired in some heated seats and right now they are just always hot in run so i might throw a switch in for those as well. and afew other things i might put in.
interesting idea about the motherboard im going to have to search something out cool to make the panel out of
