Thanks for your input. Actually I don't have the upgraded monsoon system. I got the idea that my factory radio is a panosonic from visiting other webistes looking for an auxillary adapter for the cd changer. I found a number of websites that confirmed that the factory radio made for the 2001 passat is a panosonic.

I'm starting to think that a cd changer converter to an auxillary input for panosonic does not exist. It exists for other brands of radios, but I have been unsuccesful in finding one for Panosonic.

I'm going to probably have to use the cassette adapter connection strategy.

I'm already using the other rca output of the empeg to connect to an amp that will be powering my subwoofer in the trunk.
