That won't work. Aside from the 3.5mm plug (stem), the remote has a
number of other connectors on either side of the 3.5mm stem. They
all go into the side of the unit and make contact at the same time
(I'm assuming that this is the case...it seems to be so on every MD
unit I've seen).
If, as I suspect, the 3.5mm stem on the remote is in the center of
the connection to the MD unit, I can not see any way at all that he
could connect the remote and the airhead unit to the headphone jack
in the unit. It is also my understanding that the connection for the
airhead with the 3.5mm connector that comes with it is large, and
prevents proper use of the remote.
This is why I continue to suggest plugging the remote into the unit,
getting a short extension, plugging the male 3.5mm stem of the
extension into the 3.5mm hole on the remote, and plugging the 3.5mm
stem of the airhead into the 3.5mm hole in the extension cable.
