Head Unit And Mp3 Player.


Whiteboy

Recommended Posts

ok well today bought a 3.5mm jack so that i can listen to mp3 player off the head unit. it is supposed to plug into the rca inputs. well got home and did this but my head unit doesnt seem to have a aux or anythin to play the mp3 off. so there is another 2 pairs of "rca"'s named output left and output right. wacked it into these and wokred but really crappy n only worked on n on exsitant radio stations, sound quality was poor, so any ideas how can make it work. or is there no chance at all?

cheers

I did the same thing in my car.

My head unit had a cd changer plug, so I got the cd changer cable for the head unit and got what sounds like the same cable you got, then I pluged that cable into the changer cable. That worked great for me.

You should look to see if you have a cd changer plug and try that.

Otherwise I don't know what to tell you.

Sounds liek you;ve got a 3.5mm jack to 2 phono lead, and connected this between mp3 player and the back of the HU, correct?

does the HU say anything about having an aux input anywhere? if not, its likely you have connected your mp3 player to your amplifier pre-outs and are going to damage something, HU or MP3 player, or both.

right ok on my head unti i have 3 pairs of rca's amp/input, rear output, front out put.

bssicly when plugged into the input nothin happens, but when plugged into outputs, especially the front one seems to work well. it will only work on the output when or on a "non exsistant" radio station otherwise you will just hear your music playing in the background. so is it safe to have it plugged into an output? or is it gunna blow anythin?

please DO NOT plug it into an output! this is BAD and is likely to fry your mp3 player.

If the 3rd is an input (might be sub out) there will be an aux in feature somewhere, cycle through sources and it will be CD/Tuner/aux ect if its only got Cd/tuner, then i doubt its going to work.
