Hijacking CD Changer for Aux input
This is hypothetical. PCM 2.1 with MOST
I was wondering is it possible in anyway, to hijack the sound created by the CD changer and instead input the sound from an Aux input. I was able to do this successfully in other cars (fill the cd changer with cd's and it acts like its playing but it uses the sound from the aux input.. hijacked) but in the cayenne with the MOST system is poses a challenge. Is this even possible?
I am trying to avoid spending 800 bucks on a mosbridge or dension system to simply play pandora/other music from my iphone.

Longer answer - the devices needed to interface from an optical signal to an electrical signal (MOST to your AUX input) require electronics and circuitry to make. It's not just twisting wires together. It not only has to convert the signals from analog to digital - it has to also not upset the MOST loop.. If the MOST loop isn't correctly configured, nothing on it will work.
Cheapest way to do what you're trying to do is an FM modulator. A pretty much half-*** (IMHO) solution dating back to the dark ages. No interface, no control, crappy audio - why bother?
The Dension Gateway LITE is fairly cheap, and if you don't need or want screen display of what's going on, it would get you what you're looking for. The Gateway 500 - without BlueToof - is around $420.. still not awful, hey - you're driving a Porsche for dogs sake.
My Dension stuff just arrived - so tomorrow will be a fun day of crawling around the P!G.. gotta remember to take lots of pics.
It's part of the MOST loop (spent quality time with mine today, connecting/disconnecting/bypassing the CD changer..)
