Title: Trafficmaster and non vx head unit
Post by: rastiman on 27 June 2009, 09:41:40

Hi All

Im thinking of replacing the standard tape / radio in my mini facelift omega with a non vx one - can anyone please tell me if traffic master will still work?

Im assuming there must be some form of input into the head unit at the back which trafficmaster plugs into....

Cheers guys! :y

Uses mono line in and mute (as used by phone kits).

The vast majority of head units support this function.

We have a plug and play lead to allow a trafficfmaster to be retained with an aftermarket head unit

Hi Dave - cheers for the info, have just ordered one from your site at a competitive price too I must say  ;D

Now all I have to do is figure out where to shove all the wires so the head unit fits! :o

All fitted!  :D Bit of a mare threading the Trafficmaster cable through, but got there in the end. It took an hour trying to juggle the cables into gaps so the head unit would fit, but well worth the hands getting ripped to shreds!

If anyone is interested, my local Aldi has head units that have built in "hands free" and bluetooth connectivity for £55........... Im not sure if other stores have them, but its a bargain for what it does. If you have a phone that supports A2DP, then you can stream audio via bluetooth too.

It sounds much better than my car 400, but that wasnt too hard!  ::)
