MP3 player in bird

[SoulTerror]

My cord came in today to convert the cd changer port on the back of my head unit into a aux in cable. So now I can hook any mp3 player or other audio device directly to the bird. No more skipping cds for me!









I plan on doing something with the wire. Just needs to warm up and I need to figure out what to do. Open to ideas.

Run the wire into the center console, how ya like that zune?

That's actually what I was thinking of done Jake. Still in the process of uploading my cd's to it.

Looks sweet, Mark. The headunit I got for Christmas came with a wire hookup that allows me to plug directly into the ipod for audio instead of doing the fm tuners. Works great, but it also has a direct USB port on the front which I like using with thumb drives.

Ya I hate those fm transmitters. We have 1 for the wife's Ipod and I had a real cheap 1 as well. No more of that. I just used it in the Dakota when I only had the stock stereo in it. Just needs to warm up so I can see if the wire will be long enough to run it down the center and up. I have a feeling I'm gonna need to get an extension for it.

Here's how mine is (forgive me - the pictures suck as my camera was not feeling the "focusing" mood).

My dad ran this wire when I was asleep one day (He did car stereo for 25 years, and thus worked on MANY third gen camaro and firebirds.

I just put the player right between the window switches and the center console.

This is a Monster Aux cable (Red/White RCA to Minijack), works well in both home audio - and car stereo.

Oh, and sorry the car is so dirty - my friends have NO concept of how to eat semi-not-messy... Toquitos get stuff everywhere...with them...

I'm gonna try and run it actually under the console and drill a hole in the console for stealth.

my pioneer headunit has support for the ipod module, so i bought that the same day i got my headunit and just installed the module in the dash behind the headunit. i ran the cable underneath the center console and into the compartment so i can connect my ipod there on the dock connector and control it through the headunit.
