Thread: 3.5mm aux input for Delco Stereo

headphone jack: see picture DSC00090.jpg post #6.
Its plugged into the "headphone out" of the CD player.
I was getting sound from the "line out" of the CD player before adding the capacitors. No sound now, but I am getting sound out of the "headphone out" plug. Its not very loud, but its there. Even at max volume on the CD player, the sound is too low. This is how the iPod will work, with the sound coming from the headphone plug. I would prefer to get the signal from the iPod from its own "line out" but thats different mission.
I kind of figured that the caps only went one direction. I hope I got it right! They have an arrow shape on them. I have them so they point away from the CD player and toward the cassette deck.
Apparently, I might not even need a switch. It seems that if the signal from the CD is strong enough, it will overpower the radio signal.

I'm on the right track and still working on this!!!...............

Keep up the good work, Maybe when you figure it out you can write up a How-To or something.

I did this kind of thing once in the 90's, using a 2 button CDROM, (it had the play button on it), what i did was wire the audio out (from cdrom or mp3player, whatever u want) and wire it directly to the wire header of the casette head on the mainboard, what i then did is, to play a casette, i could simply put the casette in and it'll work, provided im not playing anything on the input side, and if i wanted to play the mp3 player or cd player, i would put in a modified casette with the wheels separated, so they will just turn, and activate the deck to play whatever is feeding the head of the casette...

I dont know if you understand the terms i used, I'm not sure what to call those parts :P

anyways, works for me, and it leaves the OEM unit working the way it originally should
