Why can't I find this? 2007 c230 Full Range Stereo Signal Output



I've been searching forrrever looking for a thread detailing where I can find the full range stereo signal output from my radio, you know, the untouched, un EQ'd signal before amp?

Any ideas or threads I should be looking at?

Somebody has to have done this before and tapped into them for a processor integration with stock radio/cd control of somesort...right?

Thanks for all your help, and sorry for a potential thread repeat

The audio processor in the head unit is a digital signal processor. Inside this DSP is an equalizer that uses a non-linear amp to shape the sound for the car interior and the supplied speakers. Since it is OTP, there is no access to the firmware that controls this. The head unit contains an integrated four channel amplifier to drive the six speaker locations. Cars with premium audio have additional control of the audio through the separate amplifier. The audio signal from the head unit DSP is dispatched to the rear mounted amplifier (Logic 7 decoder) via MOST (media oriented system transport) fiber optic cables.

The signal you are looking for only exists inside the DSP, as digital data, with no analog port output.

The short answer for people looking for a line level out, "Sowwry."
