RCA jacks
 
do anyone out there know if there are rca female ends in the back of the head unit, if so, does it work with the aux. in the unit...wouldnt you be able to connect RCA male plugs into it and connect your mp3 player elimitating the use of buying a costly adapter?

Don't worry about the jackasses on this site.:beers:

Yes it works. I did it with my Pioneer headunit.

i understand that but do the factory head unit have RCA plugs?....guess he went over my head cause i dont know what he's talking about

No factory RCA wires or plugs, search for info on a PIE adapter.

I am also trying to figure out the best way to do it. I have looked and the PIE adapter, but I heard something about a connector that charges it and gives you control of your Ipod through the factory stereo. What is that? I think that is what I am looking for. Thanks.

Ya, great advice there pal. :rolleyes: Maybe, instead of starting a new post he can search and find the other people with the exact same question. Oh and 85% of the threads in this audio section pertain to the same few things: PIE, underseat box, audiophile questions, new speakers, and sub/amp setups.

The search feature sucks on this site. I have had a very hard times getting info I have needed sometimes, even when I know it's there.

It would have been just as easy for you to give an answer as it was to to type in search first.

I've been researching this and it just seams more cost effective to get a new head unit. I know alot of people want to keep the factory look but want to add an Ipod and amps too. But 80+ for the Ipod adapter plus another for the amp is too much. my solution was to find a nice stereo with Ipod controls and a double din size that looked kind of stock and had a good price, so this is what I found,

It has everything we need and it looks cool, maybe the volume knob kills it for some but I like the way it looks and all the features are great. Unfortunately its last years model so only a few places still have it in stock. Ebay has them too. The model that replaces it is more expensive but adds bluetooth and a few more things. The CX609

being a senior member, looks like all his time is to find people to insult, what a life

Sundevil2188 02-09-2009 03:29 PM

Cliche, I wouldnt be surprised if Low new more about car audio and car audio installation then anyone else on this board.

The fact that he has so much knowledge means he helps noobs all the time. Answering that same questions over and over again, when most can be answered by doing a simple search, gets very frustrating.

clicheband 02-09-2009 04:06 PM

if it bothers him so much, then walk away...like an adult, dont have to answer anyone, takes it on himself to let it bother him, we have people on every web site everywhere ask questions before him (before internet) and long after we are gone
