So...

Assuming I can find a 17 pin Business CD player that is aux-ready, how do I attach the current antenna to it? Did you say there are two feeds out of the current signal booster? I assume there is only provision for one antenna on the back of the CD player. How would I deal with that?
Frankly, the 16:9 is what? £250? An aux in CD player is pretty close to that. The only downside is you'll need to shelve the Aux In for now as BM24 doesn't support it. It would certainly add value to the car.

Anyway the 17 pin CD player will have 2 antenna connections (so long as it's not in the NG smear zone - which it probably will be ), and so you'll need 2 £25 FM cables.

That's the bastards son. A BM54 back. It's a BM24 with an NG radio. Part of the NG transition smear. Does not support MP3 or Aux. Avoid.

Confusing isn't it!

Take this one for example. As I understand it, any unit that has two 'bus' ports on the back and a 'mode' button on the front instead of a 'CD' button should be aux compatible. This one has both but only has one antenna port as far as I can tell. In fact I haven't seen any yet with more than one antenna port including the older cassette ones. Am I looking at the right connector?
