I recently looked into car CD players and decided that a portable player
connected to my car stereo would be a more economical way to go. My Kenwood
KRC-999 has a auxiliary CD input, which normally connects to a Kenwood
car CD player. Does anyone know how to wire a cable to use this connector
for a portable player? Can I just use the standard Kenwood DIN to RCA cable
and use the amp turn on wire to activate the aux input?
I think the standard cable will work because the output of a Kenwood
CD player normally connects to a Kenwood amplifier. Instead of turning on
an amp, the CD player would switch the KRC-999 to take its input from the
aux connection. Anyone have a KRC-999?

I have a KRC-999 and run my Sony D-10 into the auxiliary input. It sounds *great* and it's nice to be able to equalize the output of the CD player. I put a switch inline on the input switching wire to enable/disable CD input. Now if I could only figure out a way to make the input switching automatic... -- Dave Morgan Email me at {...bucket, escargot}!putz!morgand
