Aux Connector for Original Radio

[tii bimmer]

Has anyone used the 6pin adapter to headphone jack adapter for the Blaupunkt radios? I've seen two versions (mono and stereo). I bought the stereo jack because it was a lot cheaper ($20 shipped vs. $54).

I will report how it works once I receive it. Here are the links:

You need to get the correct Aux connector to match your radio. The number of pins is different between the Mono and Stereo connectors and the jacks that they plug into on the back of the radio. They are not interchangable.

Andrew,

Did you get the stereo or the mono adapter?

I have the Mono adapter for my Becker Europa in the Cab. I removed the factory housing for the plug and flush mounted it to my Parker Performance console faceplate. I use a IPod Shuffle or my iPhone to drive it. It works great.

I've used both types depending upon whether the radio is Mono or Stereo.

Mono has 6 pins, Stereo has 8 pins

Look at these pictures to see the difference:

Todd, what type of radio do you have? Becker and Blaupunkt each made both Mono and Stereo versions of their radios. It looks like the ebay listing you show for the Stereo cable is actually showing a Mono cable.

What's the process on the radio to get the source switched over to the aux jack?

[Mark92131]

On my Becker Europa Mono, as soon as you plug the cable into the jack, the radio switches over to the Aux input. It might work differently on other radios.

John,

I have the Blaupunkt radio with the 6pin mono connector. Anxious to see how the cheap connector works.

John,

The ones that I'm using all have that little box on the end that you plug the ipod cable into. Hopefully your connector will switch to using the AUX port when your ipod is connected and then back to the radio when the ipod isn't connected (that's how the ones that I have work). Otherwise you would always be unplugging the cable from the back of the radio if you ever want to use the radio as a radio. Let us know how it works,

John
