i saw alot of thread about this asking bout this same question. so to ease you guys from asking the same question. i help u guys merge all the related thread and pinned it up for your convinient

cheers scotty

how much does it costs? and anybody got their link...wanna check it out....

Guys,
I have a Kenwood CD player which is already whacked...the CD wont eject..
So I tot of buying an MP3 player and connect a Line In cable to the car's audio..
Can it be done?

Coz buying an MP3 player and a new CD player costs almost the same..

Sumthing like:-

hie,

does ur current player support AUX/Line in input?

if yes, then sure you can plug in external mp3 player.

Erm..how to check if it supports?
I know my set was converted to vcd compatibility by ex owner...The shop ppl kinda 'bypassed' it wit sumkind of wire..

yeah...if your HU support line in...then there is no problem....
if no...then can think about to add one cheap amplifier, then you also can enjoy your mini mp3 player in your car....

radio on the cd player still working? if still working then get a cheap fm transmitter...

if fm transmitter meaning when u going tunnel or underground parking, no more music

a good solution is get a cheap amp.
but then u no longer can listen to the radio

i installed a cheap amp to my car and listen to ipod everyday. i dun have radio because my radio signals are in japanese frequency channel, meaning i dun have access to numbers more than 90. (ie. 92.9, 94.5)

but if u have radio and CD player no working, i believe, if not mistaken, u can install an amp, listen to mp3 player with line in and at the same time can switch to listen to radio too.

edit : installation + amp cost be about RM300 or slightly more

Kenot la...tried that..quality sux oo..dunno izzit my set..but really sux.
Tried belkin wan sommore


HMm...i think with that price i rather get a car player kua...
Coz i plan to buy shuffle nia..
So Shuffle 499+300 for amp is already 800<>..

Fresh grad nia..ahaha..dun have so much money yet.
Maybe get a player for about <>400? issit recommendable?
Tot of maybe sony/Pioneer/Blaupunkt

just get an mp3 cd player la..

but that wud cost like a bomb rite?

Looking for sumthing <>500 about there

should be able to get..but not branded one

pioneer mp3 brand new 400+

does anyone ever heard of this product of perhaps have using it?
its an mp3 player which plugs in your cigarette lighter and using usb thumdrive as storage of mp3

they were selling it a while ago on bulk buys...

i've seen it selling at the shopping centre

which shopping centre? can u tell me?
thanks

see in lawyat ..
price around RM110

alright... does anyone have use it??
is it a good bargain?

i saw it in ipoh..so i don't think it matters

what do u mean by it dont matter? its not a good bargain?

i bought this thing at lowyat..the name is easyMp3..plug it into my lighter and put thumbdrive on it..a quick solution for those who cannot afford to buy mp3 supported radio

Interesting, my lecturer told me its around 80bucks. Anyway does it ate up the car's battery life?

unless u wanna come ipoh n buy...

owh its ok...maybe here also got other ipoh people
yeah i want this easydisk mp3 becos i cant afford mp3 player at this time...and i can use the default radio/cassette player

this thing no skip song if shaking?

it's all solid state electronics. no moving parts!
it won't skip

only cd's skip..maybe ipod's if u shake em hard enough..

how is the battery comsumption
it drain battery a lot rite when using the lighter?

i'm sure it's minimal..
your car batt is very powerful..

Not sure where this question belongs, but how do you connect your PPC to your car audio system? On my case, it's a Dell Axim X50v with 3.5mm normal headphone jack.

I already have 1 Kenwood Cd player in my car, now still don't have any other component except speakers.

I search the website a bit and saw some successful example which they connect the PPC directly to the amp. Base on that, i checked with 2 audio accesories shop, both of them say cannot. Must use a player with Aux in cable jack. (which is only available on the expensive player).

So any idea how does it works? i'm going to buy an amp sooner or later for the subwoofer. but if they wants me to change to more expensive player with Aux in, would be too much for me tho....

edit:sorry Mod, i just saw the ICE forum. maybe u can move this into that forum.

just get a FM Modulator..

You could connect it directly to the amp but u may run into some trouble. If you try to conenct both the CD player n ur Dell into the same input using a Y-connector (splitter) you might not be able to hear the audio from either one of the devices if the current output leves are different.

Anybody know if there is any car audio kit that has a line-in jack?

sorry if my question is noobish cause i have no knowledge at all of anything pertaining to car audio systems... i'm jsut so tired of using the FM transmitter for my mp3 player

Thanks for any info

and btw to the mods.. i'm not sure if this should be in the audiophile secttion or car section.. cos its a little bit of both

u need to get a preamp...

hmm... tumpang tumpang..

if preamp got line-in , then does preamp give the audio signal to all the speakers in car? i means.. 2 front 2 back.. 1 woofer.. all will get the signal?

preamp .. ok

hehehehe damn i don't even know what a preamp is hehe

i just wonder why don't all car audio systems come with a line-in

doesn't sound too hard to implement isn't it?

i wonder if i can get the carshop to do a mod hehe

well if u wanna connect ur speakers to ur hp or ipod for example...then u need a amplifier to power up all ur speakers n if u have woofer then another amplifier is required...then after that u put one preamp to control both of this amps.....then on the input part of ur preamp...u buy a rca to headphone jack cable....depends...then connect it n walla...u r ready...n the sound will be awesome...

i wanan tumpang question here!!!...
where to get those acessories?...
i am interested in using either ipod or other mp3 player to play music rather using cd player.

some mid to highend hu will have the aux in function...
some casette player also got the function.
if u use preamp, u will need to install amp if u dun have any

ic...
really?...cassete player?...hehe..
never see one in the market..
it would be easy if using mp3 player or ipod to play mp3, cds have to burn to it and limited storage also hard to manage.
i know there is an audio player in u.s, it is just for ipod only..
thanks for the feedback!

alpine and pioneer(if not mistaker.) have some model support ipod..

hmm...
gotto check it out in the local store..!! hehe

ICE material, moved to the correct section.

I've been searching high and low for this, but couldn't find any solution. My Sony CDA-CA750X has a Bus Audio In.

I tried to connect my iriver mp3 to the bus audio in. problem is i can't select Audio In mode. Only FM and CD mode is selectable. Anybody know how to override this, so that i can select Bus Audio In Mode? (that means try to fool the head unit thinking that the MP3 player is actually a CD-Changer or MD)

Refer Image for illustration.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Also, in the manual it says "This unit cannot be connected to a digital preamplifier or equalizer" .. does it mean i can't add preamp?

Thanks.

pioneer has the support for Ipod connection..but the player is not cheap...not worth it...might as well buy a cheaper pioneer mp3 player.....

what is the RCA output for????

i don't get you.. what do you mean RCA output? thanx..

oh! what i mind is the RCA output is for connected to a digital preamplifier or equalizer

ok thanx. anyway , preamp is my last option. If i'm not mistaken, the player already has a preamp built-in.

prefer to find ways to connect mp3 player straight to the unit, since it already has an audio in. just need to find ways to hack it.. any help would be appreciated!

even u connect the mp3 player line out to the bus line in, u still wont be able to turn on the function..

there is a function to turn on the aux in...but, u need to connect the bus line out to some signal to tell the hu there is something connected and the aux in will be available in the function..

conclude:
if u just connect hu line in to the mp3 line out, u will definitely wont able to hear the sound because the hu haven turn on the function..and to turn on the function, u need to make the hu to sense the device..

to some ice freak, it is cheap...because most of those hu got 24bit D/A Converter which normal hu only 1 bit
