[QUOTE="94Mazda626, post: 4168656, member: 582332"] I would tend to say not very well, most HU's have at least a 2 volt output. An ipod is much much lower, they only put out about 30mW (on a 32 ohm load like most headphones that is less than a volt). You could probably get a line out converter, then you wouldn't have to change your HU. Shit my comp is slow.
