This unit accepts a BUS input from a mini disc changer, which I don't have.
It also has RCA inputs labled BUS aux input. I've got my car torn apart
right now reconfiguring my system as well as adding XM radio. I would
prefer to hook the XM tuner up to the head's RCA inputs (as opposed to FM
modulated), but I'm not sure if RCAs are for the audio-only portion of the
mini disc, or if they can be used independently. Unfortunately, I can't
turn the car on to test this theory because the front seats, which have
removed from the car for the time being, have side-impact air bags and
turning the car on will give the ECU an error reading that Nissan will have
to reset for me (for a charge, of course).

It would save me quite a bit of time if someone knew the answer. The
owner's manual doesn't specifically cover this.

Thanks,

Tony

You need a Sony AUX input adapter. The bus in cables are for Sony changers
but only become active when you complete the bus loop by connecting the
Uni-Link cable.

Can I hook up a uni-link cable to the BUS input just for the purposes of
activating the RCA aux inputs? I believe I have one of those cables laying
around. Or am I totally off base here?

Just make sure you ordered the correct part. They have two that look
similar, but one is an AUX inout adapter and the other is a multi-changer

Paul,

I searched a variety of places (spent way too long doing so), including the
Sony website, and couldn't find exactly what I wanted. The only Sony
product I could find that came close was a $99 unit that allows you to
connect a CD changer AND two other RCA input devices...one even had a
mini-jack headphone output. Plus it had a computer USB input. But it was
more than I wanted to spend.

I ended up ordering a JVC auxiliary input adapter. The plug looked
IDENTICAL to the Sony bus input. I hope it works. Here's the link:

You're going to have to send it back, Tony. The plug may be the same but
the way they are used is different. The Uni-Link cable has a control line
in it that tells the C90 to turn on the AUX inputs. You're going to have to

Well, the guy at Crutchfield said if it didn't work I could send it back at
their expense.

I really don't want to spend $100, but the XM radio sounds like total ****
through the FM modulator. I mean worse than I ever expected. Can't even
listen to it...

You need a Sony AUX input adapter. The bus in cables are
for
Sony
changers
but only become active when you complete the bus loop by
connecting
the
Uni-Link cable.

I'm not surprised considering how weak Sony tuners are in general. I'd
spend the extra $100. It souds high now, but just wait until you get it in.
Why dont youuse the Sony XM module? It connects through the Uni-Link cable

You're going to have to send it back, Tony. The plug may be the same
but
the way they are used is different. The Uni-Link cable has a control
line
in it that tells the C90 to turn on the AUX inputs. You're going to
have
to
pony up for the XA-300 or go without.

Paul,

I searched a variety of places (spent way too long doing so),
including
the
Sony website, and couldn't find exactly what I wanted. The only Sony
product I could find that came close was a $99 unit that allows you to
connect a CD changer AND two other RCA input devices...one even had a
mini-jack headphone output. Plus it had a computer USB input. But it
was
more than I wanted to spend.

I ended up ordering a JVC auxiliary input adapter. The plug looked
IDENTICAL to the Sony bus input. I hope it works. Here's the link:

Oh...I remember now. I looked at this item. My understanding was you
needed an XM compatible receiver. My C-90 is pretty old...they didn't even
have XM back then. I think the module only works with certain receivers
made after 2000.

Alright, Paul. I just got off the phone with a tech rep at Sony and he said
the XM controller WILL work with the C-90. He didn't sound very convincing,
but he double checked whatever reference he was looking at.

I looked at the module's specs and saw that my receiver's display probably
won't show everything that a stand-alone XM unit with its own dispay will
show, but it gives me yet another option.

And yes...I agree...my receiver's tuner SUCKS.

I'm pleasantly happy!

You need a Sony AUX input adapter. The bus in cables
are
for
Sony
changers
but only become active when you complete the bus loop by
connecting
the
Uni-Link cable.

It would save me quite a bit of time if someone knew

The
owner's manual doesn't specifically cover this.

Tony, that was the whole purpose behind Uni-Link. ANY Uni-Link HU will
control ANY Uni-Link add-on piece. You are correct that you may not get
some of the display options, but as long as it works and sounds better than
FM, what the heck.

Alright, Paul. I just got off the phone with a tech rep at Sony and he
said
the XM controller WILL work with the C-90. He didn't sound very
convincing,
but he double checked whatever reference he was looking at.

I looked at the module's specs and saw that my receiver's display probably
won't show everything that a stand-alone XM unit with its own dispay will
show, but it gives me yet another option.

And yes...I agree...my receiver's tuner SUCKS.

I'm pleasantly happy!

I'm not surprised considering how weak Sony tuners are in general. I'd
spend the extra $100. It souds high now, but just wait until you get it
in.
Why dont youuse the Sony XM module? It connects through the Uni-Link
cable
like the AUX input adapter, but you control it from the radio.

Well, the guy at Crutchfield said if it didn't work I could send it
back
at
their expense.

I really don't want to spend $100, but the XM radio sounds like total
****
through the FM modulator. I mean worse than I ever expected. Can't
even
listen to it...

You're going to have to send it back, Tony. The plug may be the
same
but
the way they are used is different. The Uni-Link cable has a
control
line
in it that tells the C90 to turn on the AUX inputs. You're going to
have
to
pony up for the XA-300 or go without.

Paul,

I searched a variety of places (spent way too long doing so),
including
the
Sony website, and couldn't find exactly what I wanted. The only
Sony
product I could find that came close was a $99 unit that allows
you
to
connect a CD changer AND two other RCA input devices...one even
had
a
mini-jack headphone output. Plus it had a computer USB input.
But
it
was
more than I wanted to spend.

I ended up ordering a JVC auxiliary input adapter. The plug
looked
IDENTICAL to the Sony bus input. I hope it works. Here's the
link:

Just make sure you ordered the correct part. They have two that
look
similar, but one is an AUX inout adapter and the other is a
multi-changer
adapter. www.xplodsony.com and click on accessories.

Thanks, Paul. I didn't know one existed, so you just confused
me
for
a
bit.
I just ordered one from Crutchfield.

Thanks,

I was just going to say that too. Basically, you HAVE TO
have
the
aux
inout
adapter.

No, I can't. I just tried that.
