Title: mp3 input
Post by: doz on 10 October 2012, 14:16:10
Can I remove the traffic master system and some how use it for an additional input? Want to use a 3.5 mm jack to kisten to music on from my phone

You can but it will end being a Mono i/p, another trick is to interrupt the CD Changer Audio Line  i/p and o/p's.

If I T into the CD changer do I lose the ability to then use the multichanger?

No, you need to interrupt the Audio line through a switch / Relays and add some Caps and resistors, not too sure what you have in your Elite, did one a few years back on a NCDC HU but never been inside a 2006.

Been posted a few times on here, will try and find one.

If you are not running BOSE, then a better bet would be a Parrot car kit with full audio interrupt as they often have an MP3 socket and a better amp than the CCR2006

OP has Elite, so unless its been played with, odds on will be Bose.  ;)

If you are asking that Q, I'd suggest you don't try.

Cassette adapter or FM adapter is best option for now, IMHO

I have tried one of those (was a cheap one) and it didn't do a good job.
If you get sorted and happy please let me know what you brought  :y

Bear in mind I am not myself an Omega owner, can`t stand them, and on this occasion will not charge you a surcharge for owning one.

Always happy to discuss discounts though - how many do you want?

 :P

Missed a trick there Dave, considering the Traffic Master is Mono, He needs one for each Channel.  ;D

Still between cars at the moment -

Really stumped as nothing really floats my boat at the moment. Keep going into the showroom and looking at the Porsche GT3, and every time, I keep getting sidetracked by a convertible DB9 they have on the forecourt - REALLY pretty car, but struggling to find a good one that doesn`t have "war and piece" as its service history. NEVER EVER going back to a Ferrari. Guy down the road has a Monaro that might be tempting for a few months (bloody good fun to drive and ultra reliable too). If I could find a cheap way of importing, the new Dodge Challenger would certainly be given garage space also.

Still have the old 05 Forester here at the moment that I took as a bad debt a while back, and its so much fun down the muddy lanes and across the moors that I really haven`t been inspired to change it. Its one of those scratched and beaten up ones that wouldn`t matter if I rolled it, and that does inspire a style of driving that I don`t often have with some of my cars. 1969 Beach Buggy is in the garage, Astra Convertible is being driven by the Missus and the Honda Deauville is going to be up for grabs shortly as I fancy riding something else for the friday night chip run.

Tried one a while back, problem in London is there's some many Pirate Stations overcrowding the FM spectrum its near impossible to find some free spectrum, unless its inline hardwired near the HU.

Dare say there are better ones than others.
