Where did you buy the switch at? Having a hard time finding one with twelve connectors.

Would this work if the vehicle has overhead rear dvd also? Seems like it will.
Sorry for bumping this old thread.
I was seriously considering doing this mod.
The problem is that I am not sure which points to soldier to where on the switch...
I have a 2003 EB with a Nav system and a external factory 6 disc changer. This really seems to be my only option (aside from getting a whole new radio).
Anyone have any information on what wire goes to what point on the 4PDT switch?

Well, it does take a little sense about wiring. Each row of three on the switch is for one of your four circuits. On mine, the center post was the 'output' that goes to the head unit, and the outside posts were the switchable inputs. But confirm for yourself on your switch: test for continuity with the switch in one position: only two of the three will be a circuit. Then move the switch to another position. The circuit will move to the other post, plus one from the previous. The post that forms a circuit with the switch in either position is your output. The other two are the inputs, one goes to the cd player, the other to the mini jack.
If this made your brain explode, maybe go to an electronics shop and pay them $10 to explain or do the job.
OEFootball, just google 'mini 4pdt' and you'll find them: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=060-524

I actually understand electronics, and although I have never dealt with a 4PDT switch before, I found the following picture, which helped identify the points (I would be using the first on/on switch):
Going by that picture, the 4 wires that go to the radio (R+ R- L+ L-) will go on the center posts. The top row (or bottom row) will contain the R+ R- L+ L- from the CD changer. My question is about the L- and R- for the headphone jack and to the remaining row. The headphone jack has only two wires which would wire to the L+ and the R+ points. What goes on the L- and R- points for the headphone jack?????

Make sure you have a stereo jack, not a mono (stereo has three solder points). A stereo jack is configured to accept the Tip/Ring/Sleeve (TRS) male plug from the iPod, etc. TRS carries Left +, Right +, and ground in that order. This should correspond to solder points labeled 1, 2, 3 on the jack. If you are using a 4 wire cable from the 4PDT switch: Left + to 1, Right + to 2, Left - and Right - both to 3.

Indy, if you are still monitoring this thread, here ya' go:
Hey Cat - Is this the pinout for the 03 EB too???

Probably, but I'm on the road for a few days and can't confirm it.
I am not sure when I am going to get to this, so if you can verify when you are back in town I would appreciate it.

This is great. Thanks guys !!!
BTW Cat - When you look this up I should tell you that I have a 2003 EB with Nav. Not sure if that makes a difference, but there it is.

What type of wire should be used?

Finally got to look at this, all wire color codes for a 2003 EB w/ Nav are the same as the picture pinout I previously posted. Have fun, Milkman!
Tanikir, I used 18 AWG 4 conductor speaker wire to keep things clean.

what i've done in the past is called or chat with crutchfield.com and they were able to explain the situation...so that's an option if you want...they will sell you the how to install sheets they have not sure of price...but if you buy from them they give them to you for free and will walk u through the install step by step if u need help...they should give you a harness for free if it is required for install...just an option...
do you know which input you think u might buy?
