my Aiwa CDC-MP3/WMA-2 (One of the first large scale production car MP3 players made in the world, has a stealth face which turns itself inside out to a blank black face to match your interior, and only available in the US, basically imported it to AUS) has a stereo jack input for AUX on the front. You could get one of them form the US if you you'r real desperate. I just had to be one of the first kids on the block with an MP3 player int he car (back in 2001) plus I didn't want the hassle of carrying a stereo face.

Most chinese generic stereo's these days have AUX inputs on the front.

If not get a mad quality stereo, then drill 2 holes in the side of your center console (right under your passenger side glove box) and go to jaycar n get 2 RCA female mounts, then wire them to the aux inputs of the stereo. It'll lok nice n clean and you can plug it in n it won't get in the way of the gearshift n stuff. Oh and it won't look ugly on the front of your screen.

Hmmm, so far the other suggestions I've had were both JVC or Aiwa, dont much think the JVC's look too hot tho, how are the Aiwa's ?

I guess I wish Alpine would come out with something nice liek this :)

You can still get an Alpine (i have a 7893B and am intending to use the rear AUX input and have a pair of RCA's feeding in from the back to a stereo plug to the ipod - (havent done it yet)

yeah you can use any stereo with AUX inputs at the back, just get a cable and drill 2 holes make a flush mount on the passenger side (where the feet are) for the plugs, and then when you need to plug in your Ipod, just plug em into those.

Its sort of like a hard mounted extension.

I would recommend the JVC also.

But yeah, you could use any HU with rear AUX, just run some leads.

Could be a bit fiddly if its not close enough to use though. eg on the passenger side.

Does your Ipod have a remote??

      Powder coating wheels

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.

      Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.
