I would like to use the Auxiliary I/O plug and cable sent with the Orion II without modification if possible. The I/O socket is 8-pin and the plug is 5-pin. Pin 5 of the socket is a "no connection (N
I recently questioned TT about this very thing. If you want pin 7 along with the PPT (pin 3) and the audio in and out, you'll have to build your own cable. They include an 8 pin DIN with the radio fo
