I have been searching the net for such an adaptor for my Hyundai Santa Fe with no luck. I have a head unit with a switch for the CD changer, but no changer installed, hence, no cable. Any idea where I can get such a cable (with the right logic built in) for my car. I bot one a while back that I thought would work, but all it did was blow a fuse. The one I bot was made for an Infinity brand car stereo. It had the right connector, but not the right logic.
I'm an XM sub now.

Check out the "Underground Garage" sometime. You might like it for the variety and the education.
They don't seem to have one for my car there. I have tried bunches of places with no luck for my model car. Hyundai will only provide it with a cd changer, which I don't need. If I could find a source (or a diagram of what's in the encased part of the cable) I would buy it or build it. I need a cable with an 8 pin Din connector to the appropriate audio connector(s). The cable I bot is like this:

Well, I found the pin-out specification for the 8 pin DIN connector that I have at the end of the cable. I also found the Hyundai pin connection specification here: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=44453 I have taken the module on the cable apart and found that there is no "logic" built into the module, simply an audio-r, audio-l and ground going through from the mini stereo plug soldered to three of the pins on the DIN connector. In theory, I should be able to take it apart and resolder to the proper pins and have it work. I will probably blow up my car in the process, but I will give it a try in the next few days, if I can find my soldering iron.

That would be a deal killer for me if that is there standard. If I wanted mono I would get in the way back machine and tune it for 1960.
Do you have a strong right (or left) signal on 71? 71 right now is so distorted it is painful to listen to.I still haven't heard anything back from XM's "Customer Care" people.
Well, I got my replacement today. However, I haven't gotten it to work yet. I have it plugged into the home kit and all 3 bars are lit. I am listening to ch. 1 with no problem. I get all the barkers, meaning all is well with the radio. The first young lady I spoke to had a hard time with the ID number, which has 2 "J"s in it. She kept reading it back phonetically and saying George for the J letter. I finally realized she was not saying George, but, being in the Phillipines, Jorges. Once we got that straightened out she sent the signal and nothing happened for over an hour. I just called back again. Still waiting.
By the way, I REFUSE to speak to a computer named Caitlyn, or any other name for that matter.
