Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / February 2005MP3 players
I was thinking of getting an mp3 player to hook up to my car before but I got to wondering, are there any MP3 players out there designed solely for automobile use? I couldnt find anything on crutchfield, bestbuy or circuit city .com and don't know where else to look. Yeah, there called cd/mp3 receivers. They install in your dash in place of your oem head unit. > Yeah, there called cd/mp3 receivers. They install in your dash in place > of your oem head unit. See, Ephedra, right there! You can't get away from it! Portable MP3 players are HERE TO STAY in this forum. Thank you Sean for proving my point! MOSFET AHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!! Don't junk up your interior with little plasticy lookin things sitting in your cup holder!! hook up via AUX-in > I was thinking of getting an mp3 player to hook up to my car before but I > got to wondering, are there any MP3 players out there designed solely for > automobile use?

You will have to explain to me what this CD-RB10 or CD-RB20 is because I have no idea. The CD changer was bought as a serviced return from bestbuy and came with no manual. I read the one on the website pioneerelectronics.com and saw nothing about an aux input. I assume is a cable that plugs into the ip-buss system in place of a changer. Call crutchfield and ask them about it. Im sure they can help. >I assume is a cable that plugs into the ip-buss system in place of a > changer. Call crutchfield and ask them about it. Im sure they can help. So you are basically telling me to get what I posted here asking about????? An IP-Bus adapter for an MP3 player, unreal, thanks for the help btw, and I already checked with crutchfield, they don't carry what I need. CD-RB20 is so you can use a cd changer AND have AUX in. The CD-RB10 is for Aux in only, can't have the changer at the same time. Hmm. Thats strange. I would email Pioneer and ask them about the specific adapter you need. And yes, it will be a ipbus to rca input adapter, so you can run any source through your system. And like the above mentioned. Search your manual and menus on your unit and look for a Aux On/In Off selection. > You will have to explain to me what this CD-RB10 or CD-RB20 is because I > have no idea. Use the RB10 if you don't have a CD changer plugged into the back of your Pioneer head unit. Use the RB20 if you do. They both plug into the back of your head unit. Crutchfield sells the RB10. Not sure if they sell the RB20 too. - Dan >> You will have to explain to me what this CD-RB10 or CD-RB20 is because I >> have no idea.

Don't forget that for some head units, not only do you have to plug in the CD changer adapter cable (the CD-RB10), but you also have to turn the "AUX" input on in the menu. Not sure how to do it, but if you need to, someone here will know how. Scott Gardner >>> You will have to explain to me what this CD-RB10 or CD-RB20 is because I >>> have no idea.

Heres one on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3702&item=6746274080&rd=1 &ssPageName=WDVW Also, I heard Pioneer is coming out with a specific ipod control box that will allow you to view track info and change songs, etc from your pioneer head unit. Not sure when its coming out. > you need a 3.55 to rca adapter. Super cheap.

Thanks I'll get the IP to RCA and RCA to 3.55 adapters, I have no interest in an iPod, way overpriced IMHO, I'd rather just get the Creative Nomad Jukebox for almost half the price, same amount of storage and longer battery life. |
