Currently i have a the rb1 radio and sirius. i just bought a 10 disc cd changer and the cable to hook it up. my problem is that sirius takes up the connector for my cd changer, how i hook it all up? or can i even do this???
Part Is Called A Multiplexer I Think You Have To Buy The Box And Wiring
5086643aa Msrp $21.60 And Harness 5059112ac Msrp $119.00.
I Found This Out The Hard Way
This site will help you out, but a couple of us have tried getting the RB1, CD Changer (I have a 6CD), and Sirius working referencing these part numbers and it did not work. The wiring did not match up. Good luck ...

OK, I looked at this again and these numbers are not the ones I got from the Jeep Sirius site. I am talking with Bremerton Dodge again about ordering these parts and see if I can get Sirius integrated into my RB1/changer setup.
OK, everything works/fits except this cable ... the "male" changer side does not match the "female" from the changer. They are both 8-pin, but the changer seems to accept a 12-pin plug size. Need to figure out what cable will work ...

Seems as though I have an older version of the 6CD changer that was causing the problem. I guess things changed somewhere around 2002. Although I bought my changer new from an Ebay seller, it was manufactured in 2000. Anyway, I ended up using one end of the original radio-to-changer cable and one end of the new multiplex-to-changer cable and pin-outs for both and splicing them together. To my sort of surprise (these things never usually work the first try) I plugged in the frankenstein cable and everything works! I am going to tackle the Sirius antenna tomorrow, and I'm not looking forward to drilling that hole.
I just got one of these 6CD changers with the 12 pin female connector; probably from the same eBay source as yours. Where do you find the pin-out information for this changer?
Also, I noticed from the wjjeeps site that there is a cable (P/N 5066203AA) for connecting the RB1 directly to the Sirius receiver. The cable has a 10 pin connector to the RB1 and a 12 pin connector at the Sirius receiver end. Do you know if this 12 pin connector is a male and does it match up (both physically and electronically) to the 12 pin connector on the cd changer?

I think I got one of the pin-outs from Bremerton Dodge (they faxed me specifications) and the other side was documented on a sticker on the actual multiplex (it has been a few months, so I am doing this from memory). As far as your 2nd question, I have no idea ... sorry!
Guys, I'm doing the same thing except with the IPOD interface instead of the cd-changer. The headunit works with the sirius and the ipod unit alone so it should work the same. Only problem is that the ipod interface has a fixed cable with a 10-pin plug on it. If I can figure out what the pin-out for the 50662044AA cable is, then I can rewire it to a 12-pin plug and be set . I have the mux(202ac) and cables(206aa and 204aa) already. Any chance any of you can fax/email me the specs?
hey jeepunit, i have the parts you need. i have an 01' grand cherokee with an rb1. i bought the kit to ad sirius (keeping my changer) but im not gona use it. i decided to eliminate my changer and bought the cable that goes from the rb1 straight to the sirius receiver. i still have the kit and want to sell it. i also have the replacement cable to get the song/artist info. i will give you a great price. if your interested, let me know. or if you have any questions about it.
hey trax
