need help, no Car radio....

enohand · 05-13-2009, 04:36 PM

ok well i had my carpc in my old G20 for a while, & a HUGE tree jumped out in front of me 1 night , long story short, the 2002 G20 is no more.

Well now i have a 1996 G20, i wanna put my system into it. Only problem now, is my radio died., is it possible to get sound without a car radio? i have 2 laptops that i can use as a carpc, the Dell (i used in my 2002, or this new even smaller Asus laptop.) im not a big audio phile guy, i could care less how good or loud it sounded, as long as it was clear, & worked. The old way i did it in my other car was......i had a HU, & a FM modulator, & the laptop, the laptop would feed the signal to the fm modulator threw a head phone jack to headphne to RCA adapter. then i would put the radio on like 89.1. The FM modulator worked surprisingly well, (i guess cuz your car antenna gets pluged into it & then its antenna get plugged into the radio)

well now since i dont have a radio (nor do i want one, since im limited on space, i have 3 single dins, 1 with a dead radion, 1 for the climate controlsm, & a empty slot) Im going to mount my &" lilli in there, so removing the radio is somthing i was plannig on dooing any way. But how can i get sound to the speakers?

Anyone?

Nicely worded! That one made me laugh out loud

Anyway since Im obligated to reply now, there are USB FM tuners and theres a Visteon unit and a Directed unit that give you HD radio with your stock antenna right into your computer or amp, and then that gets played to your speakers. Look em up

ok i fixed the situation....i couldnt deal with not haveing a radio any longer, & i wouldnt be able to put the PC in for about a week, so i bought a radio.....its nice & has AUX in , so no more fm modulator.....ill be posting a worklog shortly....with alot of fiberglass stuff happening.....

anyone know off hand, what that spray paint is that gives you the OEM textured look?? i rember reading about it a while ago, but cant seem to find it.......also has anyone had good experience painting a vynl dashboard? I practiclly swapped my whole brown interior out for black, except the dash,....only black dash's i can find are from 93 & down, so no airbag for the passenger....i wanna keep the passs airbag , cuz my girl ......i know they have vynl dies & stuff, but i did a buddys back in high school , & his car always smelled like paint & after 1 year, in the summer, it started cracking,peeling & fading
