NO NO NO NEVER connect a JVC and sony together - they have different pinout (did you not read my post) and different language. (Unless anyone knows otherwise i am pretty sure this will screw up you stuff if you try)
thefreak, i was planning on using the lappy but as my sig says i am dumping it and going mobile athlon. It is a shame as i have loads of docking ports etc for my lappy and upgraded the ram and put a nice install of XP on but i cannot get 800x480 res so will buy a new PC - +I like using my laptop for my work.
The reason i want the cable is to link my PC to my headunit via a unlink cloning box. This fools the sony (with CD/MD changer control) into thinking that a changer is attached by sending a timing signal from a pic and then it also allows you to controlt he pc from the HU and the HU to display track info. I was gonna go with an amp but don't want to lose the ability to just turn the radio on with no pc running.
EDIT: i believe the box you have does the same as wht i am building but i will have the PC-HU data link for track changes and info and it should cost me about £20 to make including cables
H8tred666 look up some of the Sony unilink stuff as i believe i have seen a pinout for the JVC on one of those sites. Will have another look now....
