Installing car audio line in

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the best place to post, but anyway....


Car audio system is perfectly good but does not have a line in to connect ipod or similar. However, I'm told it has an aux input or similar on the back. I know you can buy kits to install, but I want someone who will do the installation and make sure I can select the new 'source'


Anybody?

Hmmm...


Hmmmmmmm....


The head unit may well have an aux in on the back, but it might be reserved for a CD auto-changer, and is only useable if such a supported device is connected. This was the case on a Sony car stereo I used to have. Does the unit have an input selector button which already enables you to select "aux" or "line-in"?

It seems there are devices you can buy, which eliminate the requirement to have a CD changer connected, freeing you up to use the input for whatever you want.


But after you've bought one of those, and paid someone to do a nice install job with a jack socket on your dash... I'd just buy a new stereo for ?70 or so, with bluetooth and USB connectivity.

    • Sorry to hear you are having issues. Fwiw, we received a regular letter this week. Maybe it's worth asking at the Dulwich delivery office (it's in West Dulwich, though. Their phone number is 03457740740) to see if there are aware of any issues in your particular area?  I've seen cases in the past were the a particular postie was sick and they didn't cover for them, they just let everything accumulate for a couple of days until the person was back.
    • Mal, it is related to this issue and if you scroll back a few pages you will see that Brockwell was brought up in relation to this (not by me I hasten to add). Do you not think it seems perfectly reasonable for people to be able to reference a neighbouring event - one that is having a number of challenges not too dissimilar to the ones Gala is having?     These sentences from the BrixtonBuzz article I linked seem very pertinent too:  The concern, they argue, is not just about permits, but about the Council’s repeated failure to follow proper planning processes and its habit of acting in the interests of commercial promoters rather than the local community.   And this: The group is now calling on residents to write to their local MP and councillors, accusing the Council of using legal mechanisms to avoid scrutiny.
    • Mal, like it or not, it does have some bearing on other councils. There was an item about it on Times Radio on Sunday - Kate Borsay, a presenter who lives locally, referenced Peckham Rye in relation to the Brockwell case. As the reporter pointed out, local councils will all be talking to each other and closely following how things unfold. If a precedent is set with Brockwell, other councils will be under greater scrutiny. 
    • Why don't you start a new thread about Brockwell Park?  I promise that I won't post on it.
