stereo options

[CarlC]

The most difficult part for 1st-gens are the front speakers. There's just not a lot of room to put anything unless you go for custom kick or door panels.

I have removed the CD changer from mine and now use the CD inputs to connect an Ipod. What the CD input-to-Ipod adapters do is apply a resistance across two terminals on the plug so that the head unit knows something is attached. Once the head unit senses something is attached it will allow the user to toggle from radio to aux. input, but there would be no controlling the Ipod from the head unit. The head unit would act as an amplifier connector and volume control.



Since the CD player is just 5V, and my Ipod works great, it should be no problem to direct-input an Ipod into an amp. Heck, it's easy enough to splice one in and try.
