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 find Fusion are Horrendous. When they ran Forest Hill pools it was always (although a new facility at the time) really grubby. Overflowing filthy toilets, dirty changing rooms, slippery floors and filthy swimming pool with cloudy water and Lifeguards who did'nt give a damn about teens  jumping in the pool and making trouble pushing and splashing adult and elderly swimmers. It was grim and I cancelled my membership and joined Dulwich leisure Centre because I got tired of complaining about changing rooms that smelt of p**s and used sanitary products left on the floor...and nothing changing..new managers would come promise improvement and making zero difference. In the End they lost the contact and FHP is run by Better and it really is....Better! I'm now happy to go there its well staffed, clean and well run. Unfortunately unless Fusion loose the contract for the Lido I fear things won't improve.
    • Hello East Dulwich Forum,  I am looking to rent or borrow a high quality DSLR or mirrorless camera. I am trustworthy resident of East Dulwich who is starting an events company. I want to shoot some food trucks at an event for my website. I am happy to pay to borrow and will leave whatever deposit needed.  Let me know 🙂  Anthony 
    • I've now read the Telegraph article. The journalist Kate Wills @katewills stole the closing "jazz [jizz] and [spit] roast" gag from David Peckham. If the Telegraph's geriatric readers got the joke they'd choke on their kippers. As someone who walks right past Belair House at weird hours (because I am weird), the sex parties are a lot less bothersome than other events Belair House puts on: for example, the club nights when the promoters illegally block parking on Gallery Rd in front of Belair House, when bouncers are posted on the front gates blocking access to a public park, and when the pavement and verges are strewn with flyers and booze bottles. Ms Waterhouse and Heaven Circle: you're welcome back any time. There's a bunch of antisocial fuckers plagueing Belair House - but it's not the sex parties...
