[vn-tech] Best way to hookup MP3 player

[Dang Nguyen]

If you're going that route, you will need to take the stereo out.  The
adapter will need to plug into the back of the stereo where your changer is
now.  Then, the other end of the adapter goes to the changer.

I am thinking of installing the switch myself. I don't want to take the
stereo out, that's probably too much work. I am thinking of getting the cd
changer out and hook up the switch there.
