I cannot seem to stop trying to get what I want from an interface between my iPod and Dasher-1. Here’s something I’m thinking about. Dasher-1 has a CD/AM/FM stereo system. I could buy, if I wanted a factory cassette player to go with it. Blue Velvet came with that option. In fact, it was defective and the dealership had to replace it.
Here’s what I’m thinking. I’ll bet there is a connector in the back of the stereo unit that lets the cassette player plug right into it. If I can find the wiring diagram for that connector on the back, perhaps I can wire the iPod directly into the cassette player input/output line.
In retrospect, I wish I had kept the defective cassette player they removed from Blue Velvet. I could use the connector to ease my design.
It’s the engineering training. I just can’t stop designing when there’s a problem to be solved.
