£5 Ipod connector Guide

[Dan1.6]

im going to do some research because i wanted to build a laptop in to my car so i think il need a auxilary cable lol

 

[andy_tratter]

Done the same in mine but the tape convertor thing keeps trying to turn itself over every five min which is bloody annoying!

 

[Razor]

Just did it there !
Who the hell said its a 5 min job ?
HaHaaaaaaa

I pulled the actual tape deck out and out popped the middle connector to the back (brown)
I didnt seem to pull out that far so i though i was fooked connecting it back in..
Gave it a tug and it gave abit..

Anyone have bother with the fake button along the top. beside the button u press to heat the rear windscreen. Between that and the "card holder" which tbh is a complete waste of time..

Only thing that really helped was the adjustable steering wheel

NIGHTMARE

Well its done and dusted now

RANT OVER

 

[Razor]

Ok
Been having a couple problems since i done this
It keeps flicking to CD or RADIO while playing music from my phone..

Annoying as foook !!
Any one know how to fix ?
All the wires are connecting properly in the back ..


How do u disconnect the " red " electrical cable thats connected to the circle power button at the front of the cassete player ?

Should pull up or down. This really has nothing to do with this thread mate. Might be more worth your while posting up a new thread in the ICE section

The red tape you can take off just by pulling it up or down. Can't remember which but if you look at you will see.

Just bought an ipod off to halfords tomorrow to buy the cassette tape adapter,after reading reviews on it seems quite good

 

[Razor]

Dont pay more than £10
I think Tesco do them cheap

 

[turbo009]

thanks for that mate,bit too late now i bought one from halfords today,bit of a discount Belkin one Ive got
£13.50 Just tryed it out in car and pleased with it

Sounds quality is not that good with these... I found that you cant put up the volume too loud else it cuts out, and yea as others have said, the tape likes to stop every now and then, i got it about 2 times every 2 minutes lol, un bearable!! but may work fine for others..

 

[Ibiza125]

^^ What happens when you buy a cheap one... Buy a belkin

 

[roloking1806]

Hmm, well - as Belkin give a lifetime warranty, I will give it another try and let you know whether it cuts out, and the cassette clicks etc. although I won't hold my breath ..

The lifetime warranty allows it to be taken back, once it 'breaks'

Maybe there will be better sound quality because last time I tried it was poor ...

 

[Razor]

I think its the actual "SEAT SOUND SYSTEM" that makes it click/jerk

 

[roloking1806]

most likely, can safely say the seat sound system (for the ibiza chill 51) only causes headaches..

 

[Trips]

I had an ebay tape adaptor, did the job and wasn't the worst sound quality I've ever heard but putting the stereo louder than 20 turned the music into white noise and the tape hiss and clicking soon got old. Invested in an ebay aux adaptor instead, it honestly makes a whole world of difference.

Really, another £20 or so and you've got proper high quality sound as loud as you want it from whatever mp3 / cd / minidisc / record player you want to connect

 

[venner]

Bought a belkin tape adapter and did this yesterday and works fine thanks

 

[danderton]

good idea!!

 

[roloking1806]

I agree with trips on this one, the slightly more expensive adapter is 100% better!! and belkin adapters cost only 10pound less... no crackling, no tape resets, nothing other than a quality connection!!

But then you cant use the CD changer aswell, i went for the tape one as i still want the use of the CD changer.

 

[roloking1806]

fair enough, i don't have a cd changer thats the problem!! i thought you could buy an adaptor for a better cd changer so it allows mp3 also to be connected to it.. costs alot more money for a new cd changer though I guess!!
