What to do?!?

**hcker2000** · 03-09-2005, 03:01 AM

Well after looking around for a new car radio with a aux in to hook my car pc into I am at a loss. No good brands have aux in :/ I can eather buy a wired (about $50 usd) or a wireless ($20-40) fm modulator. I could also just buy an amp to push my two 6x9's but there are two drawbacks to that. If I ever wanted to add speakers up front or tweaters I would need two more channels. Also sence my factory radio is dead if I just go with an amp I will have no am/fm radio any more (not a big loss but still worth mentioning). So at this point I have no clue as to which way I should go I can only hope that alot of people give me there opinions before thursday (my first day off in the week) as I want to get this fixed this week. The real draw back is the budget of $100 USD.

welll many headunits have aux in u just need the cable which is about 15 to 30 bucks if you shop around... and yes the budget will hold you back UNLESS you search ebay for someone who wants to get rid of one for cheep

I'm thinking I may have to go that way. I see that there are cables that plug in where a cd changer normaly would. Can any one recomend a radio for around $100 that you can find an "adaptor" cable for?

certainly there are good cheap units with AUX
When you say Brand name, do you mean Pioneer, Kenwood and Clarion (my fav) which can run about $89 w/ shipping here is an example of a vERY nice deck 2005 clarion for only $86(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=39757)
or do you mean something like pyle which you can find for 40$

and 15" RCA wires are like $3 on ebay

Ok lets put it htis way. So long as it is better than the factory radio that was in the car and I can hook my computer to it then that is good enough. Oh and can drive at least my 2 6x9's and posibly latter 2 smaller speakers (4 or 5 inch).

Also I'm not seeing on that clarion you gave a link to where it says there are any aux in's?

it has it...trust me

Thanks for the info I will keep it in mind though I think I have decided to go with a super cheap solution (29.99 lanzar 4 channel amp). Nothing good on the radio any way right?

I bought my Kenwood head unit, which also plays MP3's, on ebay for around $120 with shipping and got the aux in adapter from Crutchfield.com for around $30. It was well worth it for me. I suggest that you shop around a little bit on ebay. Kenwood has always been my head unit of choice. There might even be a Kenwood outlet in your city that you could get a head unit under $100 pretty easy there!
