There is two parts to this: (this method does require you to open up your stereo unit and solder wires onto the electrical board)

1. First you have to input the signal from your iPod to the stereo.
2. The Second part is muting the radio signal


1. This process does involve soldering your AUX 3.5mm jack to the tape deck control board (PL-17 on the electrical schematic). You will need to solder the Right-Left and Ground wires to the board. This will allow the signal to go through your stereo unit.

2. You will have to mute the radio signal (as you will have two signals going through your unit, one from your radio and one from your iPod). This is done by activating the mute signal on your board. (essentially simulating what happens when you enter a tape in your tape deck). What happens is a 8.5 volt signal is sent to mute the radio signal. What you have to do is solder in a switch that allows you to turn on/off the 8.5V to the 'radio mute' allowing you to go from your iPod signal back to your radio signal. This method still allows you to play your tapes. There are other methods that I came across that permanently hack you tape deck.


This method gives you the best quality sound output. FM transmitters/tape adapters will not give you the quality sound this method does.

I did not find any AUX plug and play style connectors for the 8 din pin connector these stereos have. To my knowledge these are used for output only, meaning it sends a signal from your stereo deck to amp or equalizer. I don't think you can use it to at input to your unit.

There is nothing better than having the original vintage radio in your 911 but still being able to play your tunes from your iPod.

I could do this for you, but I am from Melbourne Australia, shipping would be around 100 return.

Hi Dobrjan... I would like to do what you have explained but to a Blaupunkt 'New York SCD 08'. The CD player is one that you have to put a CD into an individual cartridge then into the player... Not a good system. It quite working some years ago and it really is not worth the price they want to repair it.

At the moment I am using my iPod -Touch directly off of the aftermarket amp. It works OK in that the radio 'powers' the amp on but I have to control the sound through the itouch... To be able to do so through the radio would be great.*

I do have the service manual that includes all of the schematics... Would it be possible for me to email them to you to have a look at? If so after perusing them
I would appreciate it if you could advise me where I should solder the ground wires of the iPod touch AUX jack to on this 'New York' model, including of course where to solder the switch to for the iPod - Touch signal.

Maybe best to PM me - Thanks.
