Finally have audio connected out of the CarPuter

I'm not ready to give up my head unit yet so I've tried a couple solutions. First it was a Belkin FM transmitter that had lots of static and turned off after 60 seconds of no input. I took that back. Then for a temp solutions I ran a cable to the LCD speakers. They have bad quality and just arnt loud enough. So I got to thinking, I wonder if my head unit has any kind of input. I bought the car with the Pioneer Premier (DEH-P450MP) head unit in it so I wasnt sure what it had. I found the manual online and discovered that it does in fact have two sets of RCA inputs. I turned the AUX input on and hooked up the computer. Wallah! Great sounding audio! Now I just need to find a 10ft 3.5mm male to RCA male audio cable so that it can be hidden.

well i dont think you can find 3.5mm male to rca male in that length. I think they only come in either 3 or 6 ft, but just extend those cables with barrel connectors on the RCAs and another length of rca cables.

Not checking the HU first was pretty dumb. I just didnt think much of this head unit and the thought didnt cross my mind. I picked up an extension tonight and have it all installed and hidden under the seats and carpet. It sounds great!
