Re: Aux in adapter for standard VW Gamma radio
either drill a small hole in the glove box - or secondly do you have a cubby hole below the radio
Re: Aux in adapter for standard VW Gamma radio
I wanted an aux-in for the standard head unit aswell, but didnt have the cd changer socket soldered to the pcb at the back(or money), so.... I opened the head unit, put in a casette adapter in, closed the casette flap, ran the 3.5mm jack out the back of the radio and back through the cubby hole at the bottom.
Result; cheapo 'aux-in', that can be turned on/off with the 'src' button as usual, doesnt have manky wires comin outta your radio, and u cant see the adapter in the head unit, and you can still use a cd changer if you have one.
Only downside is u cant play your favourite casettes anymore, but hey, get with the nineties!
(Now to just get the engine working properly again!!!)

This doesn't sound a bad idea. I have to say i'm not overly impressed with the sounds quality of this, if i turn it up past a certain point the sounds goes really tinny, and it doesn't go loud enough. Also seem to get interference noises, including when my mp3 player is charging.tompolo wrote:I wanted an aux-in for the standard head unit aswell, but didnt have the cd changer socket soldered to the pcb at the back(or money), so....
