Yeah they are nice! I have one, and run my Sirius Radio through it. The only thing I don't like is that the radio doesn't remember that it's set to AUX and I have to put it back each time I get into the car.

 

That, & it doesn't charge my iPhone.

 

This is something you can use without an AUX input jack on your dash? Just wondering because I don't have one. I have a 2008 but I thought maybe the newer Eclipses have one

 

ya just run the cord out of like your glovebox and put it in cup holder

 

i drilled a hole on the bottom of my face plate thing, looks real clean

 

It plugs into the back of your head unit. You plug 3 wires into the 22 pin connector. It was $22 at the stealership.

 

Cool, I'm going to have to pick one of those up. Did you have to disconnect the battery first?

 

You could just cut a minijack cable in half and wire it into the back the head unit and save the $22 like I did. Just saying..

 

Cool. Too late for me though, already spent the $ and installed it. That worked? Damn, wish I'd thought of that.

 

things like that just make me go :facepalm: lol

 

Yeah, I hate that shit. I take refuge in pulling off cool things like that on the bike I'm restoring and working on the teams new hedgecock car.

 

Don't feel bad I almost bought it, then I realized wtf am I paying for, it can't be that hard to make a cable work from scratch lol

 

:runaway: Must you rub it in?

 

wasn't trying to rub it in, just saying I almost bought one too

 

I'm just messing w/ you.:biggrin:

 

oh lol, just making sure I wasn't stepping on any ones toes

 

...or you could just luck up like I did and caught Ryan parting out his car...got a JVC touchscreen with ipod loaded with music and he even installed it for me

 

That's a sweet deal.

Does anyone know if this is basically the same cable or whether this cable is all i need for it to work like the one from the dealer, if it is different.

 

basically from what i see from the photos I don't see why not, there's the three cables that hook up to the 3 pins in the back of the head unit and then two more cables there for the power I would guess?

 

[This thread is were I got the info to for the aux cable, when I was looking for the part number so I thought I would repost this here for others...feel free to move it if I'm in the wrong.]

I finally got an Iphone and sooo I needed to buy an Aux cable so I can Pandora my way to work...this what I did.

Parts:

MZ360135EX- Aux MP3 Cable-$16.00 (ordered online)
Cigarette Lighter- Radio Shack-6.99
Audio Jack extension-Radio Shack-7.99
Audio dual female adapter-3.99

The Radio Shack Reciept

The Aux Cable

The 22 wire connection jack

Instructions for connecting wires

This how it looked under my middle console as you can see there were already some wires ready for me to connect the lighter too, don't know a lot about the wiring so if anyone knows what these are here for let me know I just assumed it was there for that specific reason.

So then I decided where I wanted to have the lighter and drilled a hole for it directly into the floor of what should be the bottom of the middle console.

In this pic I'm just showing how I hooked the wires for the lighter and you can also see the aux jack with a extension hooked to it.

Here it is all connected and tied.

the finished product- I used my old MP3 player for the photo bc I was using my phone to take the picture. Basically now I can hook up my Iphone and charge it with my usb within the compartment. Saving myself $200 dollars for a cable that does both in the glove box...where I don't want it. Let me know what you think!!!! :bigthumb:

The front cover of the 6 cd changer just pops off I grip it from the bottom you can use a panel lift bar or a screw driver if it feels tight...you can get a panel pry bar at pep boys It doesnt have sharp edges so you don't have to worry about scratching anything. Once it comes off just remove the four screws holding the stereo in and then you'll see the 22pin dilio and then your home free. Good luck with that!!!!!!

 

Aux input

Thanks a lot, i will do it as soon as i receive the cable and i will post it

FYI:

Don't be like some people who are so excited they got their aux cable they forget to read the instructions that come with it...it will explain everything you need to know, including removing the neg cable from the battery.

 

The instructions I've read about adapters, like the PIE MIT-POD or MIT-3.5M, say that your factory stereo must support AUX input. You must test aux mode by holding the CD button for 3-5 seconds to see if it says AUX on the display.

Unfortunately for me, nothing happens when holding the CD button while the stereo is on. Is there anything I can do? Just not thrilled about an FM transceiver for my iPod.

 

the MIT-POD only works for the 6 cd changer setup. it works great, just as clear as playing cds.

 

Is there any solution for the standard CD players that don't go into "AUX" when holding down the CD button??

 

you probably can go to a local audio shop and they'll have universal kits or be able to put one together. Where i live there is a place called Sound Solutions which has really good quality stuff, knowledgeable people, and they are easy to work with. Not sure if its nation wide or just a local shop, but anyway look for places like that, they'll most likely will be able to come up with something for you.

 

I bought the dealership cable a long time ago and wired it to a female jack installed in the horizontal underneath portion of the stereo face. The problem is I never use it because it sounds awful. If I connect my cellphone and turn its volume all the way up and then turn the head units volume all the way up its still not very loud and lacks any bass or treble. Does anyone else experience this? I was thinking of building a opamp based signal amp to get the voltages up but want to check first that I don't have something wrong. Mine is a 2006 with the premium sound.

EDIT: I was able to get matching volume/quality as the radio with my laptop at full volume. This was an output of 1.8Vrms which is higher than most portable music devices will output.

 

bought from ebay 27.95 shipped to PR

 

found one on ebay for only $10, just got it in the mail today and hooked it up while wiring in my 15" sub and sounds nice and clear, only downside is it doesnt come with directions, but their already posted up above so why pay more when you can get the same sound quality product for around half the price
