Thread: How have you mounted your Car Stereo?

Tweet

Forget the expensive stuff and head unit, I did a very simple stereo that plugs into my phone and plays music, can plug into a portable radio or any portable device as well but you can literally get everything on your phone ( if you know how) and its invisible, digital and sounds awesome. I have converted several cars to this after they spent umpteen thousands (literally) on classic car audio systems.
The other thing is its simple, too simple a switch to turn on, a amplifier, and a rotary knob called a pac LC-1 that a old or new knob can be made to fit and a product called a ISIMPLE IS75 UNIVERSAL AUDIO CABLE (search ebay), I stole the whole idea off another site I am providing a link too.
I am not a "techy" guy but had a friend who rode with me, he thought it was cool he could turn on his phone to a digital radio station plug it in and away we went with tunes, I keep a playlist of mp3's on my phone and have enough to get me about 12 hrs worth. You could use a older ipod if you dont have a smart phone, if you use the Isimple IS75 you can plug any phone in via the speaker port or use the other port for apple ipod/ipad, The instructions on the site are only for a older ipod only but the hook up the same, yes its really simple!
