    Hi all,

    Just wondering if anyone has gotten the SPDIF jack working on the ferrari. I have read a couple places that it requires a minijack-TOSlink cable, I had assumed it was a wire (non-optical) SPDIF. Is it actually an optical one? Specs seem very limited on this.. If it is optical all the trying in the world wont get my headphone jack -> RCA adapter to work I suppose ;)

    Thanks for any info!
