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.
