Lightbulb Portable MD 'aux in' on car stereo

Hi there I have another question for you..

I want to connect my portable mini disc player to my new car stereo (which I haven't got yet though i must add). I know I can do this though the 'Aux in' on back of the head unit.
Does anyone know if there is any way I would be able to control the MD player by using the controls on the head unit? Is this possible or are these just audio inputs?

See I would of thought this possible as when you connect a multi shuffler you can control it and the text appears on the head unit...

Please advise

Thanks...

Question

AFAIK, if both are Sony, you MAY be able to do it via a Sony source selector, XA30 (IIRC).
Sony will advise via their website helpline or phone them.

It's NOT a cheap option though, the source selector is £120!!! I looked into it for control of my Sony MP3 player, but I'm not paying £120...........I already have MD and CD changers in the car.

I don't think you'll do it if they aren't the same make
