I like the look and fit of the factory head units but not the of lack inputs.
Fortunately it's quite easy to hack in aux in to these head units. All you need is a spare 3.5mm aux cable, or an old pair of headphones to rat for the cable, and a soldering iron & multimeter etc. The end result is quite neat as you can run the cable behind the ashtray etc and out into the centre console storage area. This article has been moved to the technical portal. Last edited by russellw; 20-08-2017 at 09:22 AM. |

The other thing with various blue tooth devices is you are at the mercy of the Digital to Analog converter sound quality, again not an issue for most people. Cheers, Andrew.

You can still find these adapters at shops and online. The other mod you can do with the S1 CD changer type deck is to install a DPDT relay inside the deck and intercept the CD changer L and R audio signals into the deck for an AUX in function, sounds really good! You then just install a small switch to select between CD Changer audio or AUX in. (only works while a CD is actually playing though as the deck mutes the audio otherwise).
