Adding AUX input to HU.

Is it possible to somehow add an AUX input to the stock HU?

you can buy one of those radio transponders, that hook up inline with your incoming radio antena. they cost about $25-$35. search around on the net, i found a few but none send to Canada[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

don't bother with those CRAPPY fm modulators! I have tried evry kind, THEY all suck and are crackily! If you have a recent headunit (past 1-2 years) you can probably buy an attachment for your HU straight from the company. You should have a CD changer input in the back though (that's NOT being used) because this is what many of them use to get the input in. I have a 6 month old Kenwood Deck that I bought the input in for only 9.99 from Crutchfield. Got it the next day and now my DVD is perfect sounding. Just some advice. Oh yeah and if anyone STILL wants the fm modulator give me a jingle: mysirox@yahoo.com I'll ship that thing ANYWHERE. Peace!

okay children... no need to fight. Daddy's here with your solution.

P.I.E. makes a link where we can use our OEM Deck's CD CHanger control as AUX Input. Here is the webpage for you to read a little more information about it.

P.I.E. makes great products.DPXTM DIGITAL AUXILIARY INPUT CONVERTERS

oh yeah... im pretty sure we can add a CD CHanger to our indash Single CD Players.

VERIFY OPERATION:

1. With radio on, activate auxiliary device.
2. Press 'CD' button on radio to gain access to auxiliary audio input.
3. Display on radio will show CD 1 TRACK 1, and the audio of the auxiliary device will be heard.
4. Adjust volume levels of auxiliary device. (If applicable)

so you said you have a kenwood deck.. and you added a DVD player w/ the AUX input cable that you purchased for your kenwood deck from cruthfield.

okay.

AUX Input cable is better by far... you will have no radio interferance like FM Modulator.
