Headunit Question
 

how's it going guys. i just ordered my wiring to put in my 10" jl w2 and kenwood amp back in my new camaro. So while i am running the wiring i was wondering

is there anyway to run a auxillary cable from a stock headunit for an ipod or mp3 player.

There used to be a twelve disc cd player in the car is it possbile to use an exsisting wire from that pigtail that i can use with the headunit and just splice into it

get a tape deck and use the tape attachment or your gonna have to use a radio frequency tuner for your ipod....i dont think the 12 cd changer reads information like that

im not sure how the headunits in the newer camaros work, but if it has aux outputs i believe best buy sells wires that can connect into aux outputs and go into a headphone jack, which you could use on ipods, cd players, mp3 players etc.

but the stereo has to have an auxillary option.

or you could do this::wink: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/stereo...t-adapter.html

if i was not worried about ruining this head unit i would try that. but i do have an old cassette player i might be able to mess with to see it works at least with that right up. BTW thanks for the link

yeah and you are right it does not read information like that. i didnt really think of that, i was thinknig more along the lines of a source or power i guess

here's a much simpler guide that utilizes the changer:

that seems alot more likely something i will do. Thanks alot dude

Yea use the cassete player. Best way not to mention it will probably bet better quality then trying to splice you way to get it to work.

my 95 only has the cassette player can i splice into that?

why would you want to? just get the cassette tape adapter....duuuuh.:lol:

:nod: Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest.

if i had an ipod/mp3 player i'd almost consider swapping my 00' headunit for a cassette one just so i could use an adapter

those things have terrible quality

i used one in my 98....had no problems with quality at all.

Not really, the am/fm tunres sound like crap, the caset addaptors sound decent just dont get the cheapest one you can find

you have a stock cassette player headunit. the stock systems sound pretty decent in my experience. the adapter i used was a phillips and worked very well.


dont buy the 2 buck dollar store garbage
:wink:

hmmm maybe this is the problem. i used the one i got as a gift
