anyone upgrading their stereo in the near future?
Title says it all, basically.
I have an aftermarket deck in the car, but am going to a stock AP2 deck so I can use the USA-Spec iPod/iPhone adaptor I picked up from Science of Speed. But when I put the aftermarket deck in, I removed the stock plug and wired in my own plug, so I need to get the stock plug again. If anyone has it, I'd be grateful and will pay!

Unwanted advice:
1. sell that OEM ipod plug
2. find an ipod plug for your current deck. What model you got?
3. if you current deck is too sucky to have an optional ipod plug, it needs replacement anyway.
4. any deck is better than the OEM deck.
5. the next time you install a deck, don't hack off the OEM connectors. Buy the harness!

Turns out I jumped the gun on that post. I actually didn't cut the stock harness apart! I couldn't remember, but when I bought the Modifry DCI, I also bought his splice harness.
I actually bought an old iPod adaptor for my aftermarket deck (a Pioneer about 5 years old now) but it wouldn't hook up to my iPhone. Keeping the DCI limited me to a few Sony or Pioneer decks, and I don't like how they have a front USB cable for the iPhone/iPod connection (who wants wires all over the place, right?). So that meant buying a new DCI and a new deck. Got an AP2 deck for $40 and the USA-Spec adaptor for $145, good to go. And the connection to the iPhone is off the back of the deck, so I routed that wire into the AP2 centre console storage bin. It's a bit tight to get the iPhone in there, but it works.
The only other feature I would like is Bluetooth for calls, but that's basically useless with the top down anyway. I am looking for another aftermarket deck with Bluetooth and iPhone compatibility for my Benz though.

Yeah, I will probably flog the DCI, but maybe keep the harness in case I ever go to another aftermarket deck. But I have the Sony/Pioneer DCI. Anyway, once I get my crap together, I will post it up in the FS forum!
