Dear Peugeot owners

Does any one know how to make an Audio Line-in in the radio, mounted in an
406 from 1999 ?

I hope to connect my mp3 player, this way

I can't find my owners manual at present but some radios have a audio in
socket. Does your radio have a CD or a cassette slot? if it's a cassette
then you can get these things that look like an audio cassette with a
trailing lead that plugs into your mp3 player and the casette drops into
the radio like a normal cassette. They work remarkably well too. The
latest thing I've seen advertised for about £20 in Halfords is a little
transmitter. Yoiu plugh it into the headphone socket and it transmits to
your car radio.

I have tried one of these, but the quality was bad, but OK it was cheap....

The quality of the radio tranmitter would be even worse than the
casstte type adapter..
I think the casstte type adapter will work better.  Maybe the one you
used wasn't working properly.  I would try purchasing a new one.
Honestly, the radio transmitters are crap!

Not according to a friend of mine. However I haven't heard one so I
reserve judgement. I'd visit a Halfrauds store and ask for a demo
before I bought one.

Not if you buy a griffin ( ipod style...)
HOWEVER

the metal coated windos of a 406 will prevent it from working as it
should.

but there is a solution for that, you can put a transmitter in line
with the antenna cable ( do a google on that)

the other thing to look for if you happen to have an ipod is an
Icelink from dension,  the head unit of a pug is clarion afiak

http://www.dension.com/icelinkplus.php

Then, there is a line input on the CD changer input  though it might
be a bit picky if you want to connect a mp3 player on that.
I solved it by leaving the cd changer in place, parralel the MP3
players output on the cd changer and putting the cdplayer on pause..
all functions of the head unit keep working as does the cd player.
but that was on a blaupunkt
the inputs are easy enough to find, and usually red and
grey/white/black and a common ground between them

if differently coded you can find them by using a 1.5 volt batery
solder some leads on it, turn your unit on( max inout on line level is
as much as 7.8 volt) find the common groud ( NOT THE CAR CHASSIS)
and poke around till you hear the left and right speakers plop a bit
of course you dont have your head unit at max volume when doing such

good luck

Thinking of doing something similar for the clarion CD changer - if I do
I'll post a howto.
