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.

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
