As these adapters are specially modified, for now at least they are available only directly from me. Send me a private message or email ****@bipesauto.com if interested.
In another application, I’ve used an audio detection circuit to enable source switching. In other words, a signal on the MP3 input automatically switches the adapter to MP3 mode, without the need for the added switch. This is a more elegant solution, but I need a bit more time to develop it for the Crossfire application. This may or may not be made available in the near future. I should know within a couple of weeks. Retail price would probably be the same to $10 higher.
DickB,
That's great news, I know of a few forum members that have been waiting for this adapter for a long time. If you want I can also put a link to your email on my CarDomain website page, just let me know if you want to go that route. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to modify the Mercedes adapter for our Crossfire and selling it at basically the same retail price
l Thanks a lot
