drPheta Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Face it, we don't use the tape deck anymore. At least I don't. So, why take away a perfectly good CD-Changer input and use the auxilliary input for that? Is there a way to tap into the audio wires in the tape deck and utilize that for an auxilliary input? Like, rather than using a crappy tape type car kit, why can't we just run some kind of wires into the tape deck instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiku Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 i'll look into thateverythings all digital anywayi don't have my 811 anymore, but from what i remember, selecting tape had a button (unlike my 710 which just played when a tape was inserted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drlava Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I make an aux input that allows switching between changer and aux.the logic deck has to sense the tape spool wheel spinning or it won't work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drPheta Posted April 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Can I see your aux input? How much does yours run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drlava Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Here is one fitted to an aftermarket changer adapter (VOLIL). I need to use the cable that connects to the back of your radio to build it. To switch between aux and changer, you press pause, then CD6. No extra switches you have to mount anyehere. The aux inputs are $55 ea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the back of my radio has a few plugs going into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drlava Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 the wire that you send is the changer wire that plugs into the changer port on the radio. The reason I reccommend you send it is b/c:1) there are many installation setups downstream to the changer and this ensures compatibility with factory and aftermarket changers.2) the CD changer plug on the back of the radio is proprietary and sending the wire you already have makes my life easier.3) you can mark on the wire where you want your aux-in module to go (behind the radio or next to your changer) If you have an aftermarket alpine changer and are just using a VOLALP (93-95 model radios) straight through connector (small 8-pin DIN male on one side and large, AT-style 8-pin DIN female on the other) then you don't need to send anything as I have a stock of these already and will use one. It will be an extra charge of $12 for this, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
