Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

MDI does charge but requires newer radio type. iPod dock for older radios does not charge.

will take  a look.

anyone know if you can have 2 outputs from the rear of a standard 2005 head unit? I've got an ipod connector which means my cd changer is not working, would like to have both.

I believe it's either MDI or cd changer.
