Does anyone know if Xterra's ever came with factory cassette decks or maybe duel cassettee / cd decks?

If so, does anyone have one sitting around?

Yeah my 2001 came with the cassette/cd one, sorry I'm using it though.

I wish mine had a cassette player

Mine came with both. I have not had any cassettes in years.

Here's a nice cheap one. . . .

I bought one off a person on XOC so that I could listen to XM through a cassette feed.

Works like a charm

There is a plug in that head unit somewhere to hook up the CD changer that was available. I believe you can use it to hard wire other stuff. Someone hard wired their iPod through it and posted about it. It was really cool but I can?t remember where it is, I'll try to find it,

It was on XOC...
There is an extra hookup in there - which I saw when I was mounting it - that could be used for extra accessories

that's why i'm looking for one. between my XM and my Ipod, I don't listen to any CD's, and I'm pretty disappointed with the FM modulator I got for my ipod.

I had the factory 6 disk changer in my truck so it doesn't have the changer connector.

I don't know, but I think you should since the changer was connected somehow.

Check with Ken or go to XF, there was a multi-page thread on this over there as well.

mine was the in-dash changer, so there would be no need for an external changer connector.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you said. There was still a long post on XF about hacking into it.

Have you looked into this thread from XOC? Even with 1A gens non RF units from a quick review of the topic.
