Awesome, followed the instructions about adding extra inputs via the audio channels from the CD Changer and now have the CD Changer, aftermarket DVD player (for my son in the back), & my iPOD all running through the car speakers via a £20 audio switch box bought from Maplins.
Thanks a lot for the original post (
How do I add another another audio input to the RT3?) and detailed instructions.
Attached are a few pics of the result. NOTE: My CD Changer is installed between the front seats rather than the glove box which probably made things easier too.
Thanks again,
Andrew
Here's some more detail about what I actually did...
- Get access to the wiring at the back of the DVD Changer (this was easy for me as it is stored between the driver and passenger seat - see picture 3).
- Locate the following cables - grey (audio right), orange (audio left), and green (audio ground).
- Cut these cables and add connectors to both sets of cables (see picture 1). I used phono connectors as the audio switch box I bought uses phono input and outputs (Here's a link to the switch box ... http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...5081&doy=21m9D).
- Use some cable insulation tape to tidy up the wires and prevent them from touching each other (see picture 2).
- Lastly, simply plug them in to the appropriate sockets of the audio switch box (see picture 4 & 5).
- I have used input 2 for the CD Changer and have added inputs for a DVD player at input 3 and iPOD at input 4. (I still have input 1 available). Obvioulsy as far as the Navidrive system is concerned, it is still using the CD changer - all I am doing is sending different audio signals from other sources - so it doesn't know any different.
