Title: CDR500 and AUX
Post by: McJOHN on 18 February 2011, 07:33:43
Hi,
I have long sought a way to connect an MP3 or other source of radio CDR500. Transmitter did not work for me, because it has low transmission quality and other disadvantages.
 Yesterday, however, I found something I might like.

Nexxia (http://www.nexxia.co.uk/products.asp?section=CarAudio&category=iO_Products)
Instructions for installation, while the Zafira, but it's not important  Manual (http://www.nexxia.co.uk/PDF_Files/How-Do-I_Install_iO_Connect.pdf)

Does anybody have any experience or even knowledge of the equipment?

At the risk of sounding repetitive....

The CDR500 (or any standard fit Omega unit) does not have a suitable Aux In for music.

Most have a Lo-fi mono input that becomes active when telemute line activated - this is designed for phone kits, not really suitable for music.

End of. You can dream as much as you like for shoving your gayPods in, but thats the truth of it. Live with it, move on, don't waste your time.


Viable options are:
A device that directly takes control of speakers itself, but needs own volume control and own amp. Would never be suitable for bose.
A CD CHanger emulator (none available for Omega units)
A quality cassette adapter (for those units with cassettes)
FM Adapters
