Graeme,
you know about these audio type things... Is this something you could do with my Stereo? Just put the plug on the back so that its not visible from the car?

I don't even own an audio Cassette m8, so that doesn't bother me at all. I would just like to to still look like the stock Tape deck but run an iPOD from a connection in the glove box

Putting the 3.5mm jack on the back means that it still looks the same too, and doesn't suggest to potential gits that there's anything in the car apart from the stock stereo.

yup should be able to do that for you

Oh yeah you know I said the other day that the speaker was broken in the back of my car, I found out why today when I pulled it, someone has obviously elbowed it in the past & broken the centre bit of the speaker so that it was hanging off & resting on the cone

looks a good bit of work there !

Philo plays his through a cassette adapter thingy...sounded ok to me...

philoldsmobile · August 14, 2006, 06:18:06 PM

yup.. buy the belkin one though, not the podgear one..

works EXTREMELY well in the mustang, results may vary..

FUBAR · August 15, 2006, 05:18:34 AM

I've been thinking about the tape adapter & I think for neatness & convenience i'm going to see if this Aux connection idea can work.

Titsy / Graeme, there's no particular rush for this because it will probably be Xmas before I can sort out an MP3 player of some description, what do you guys need from me? Just the Stereo?
