Re: LAPTOP QUESTION
yes, right now the easiest solution is to go and buy a $10 cassette tape adapter and plug that into your "headphone" port on the laptop. Very simple solution. Oh and dont forget to press the "CASSETTE" button on the radio [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]
Some company was coming out with a way to wire the Satelite button on the radio to an external source (such as a PC or laptop or mp3 player) I have not heard from them in a while.... but yah the cassette thing should work just fine!

Re: LAPTOP QUESTION
Ok, thanks for the help Rambo! Do you know what the quality of the sound is like? Compared to a tape vs. CD. I have never owned one of those players. MASTERSR6

Re: LAPTOP QUESTION
I use a tape adapter to play mp3s off of my nomad jukebox, sounds good. Better than fm radio but worse than cd or sat. Also depends on the mp3 file bitrate.

Re: LAPTOP QUESTION
malx,
There should be a headphone out connection on your Pocket PC, use that to connect the tape adapter and you're all set... the quality is pretty good, not quite CD quality but close (depends on the quality of the cassette adaptor).

Re: LAPTOP QUESTION
FM Modulator on the stereo and FM signal output device on your laptop. They have these for Ipods so more likely they will have them for laptops.

Re: LAPTOP QUESTION
I don't want to use a cassette, I want it to be hardwired. Nothing cheesy for my car, no offense to you cassette lovers. [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: LAPTOP QUESTION
heh but for $10 you cant beat it! besides, would be nice to "hide" the cassette input wire all along the side of the console and then to the armrest

Re: LAPTOP QUESTION
I'm thinking about doing the same setup to throw in a labtop.
I did some search and here is what i found to input the audio from the labtop.
1. Tape adapter (easiest way i guess)
2. FM Transmitter or modulater.
<a href="http://www2.mobileblackbox.com:8000/">LineX Wireless FM Transmitter</a> Here is the best FM Transmitter i found and heard that the quality of it is pretty good... expensive comparing to the tape though.
3. Get a headunit with aux in
4. Get a amps and use Y splitter to accept two input to the amps (from headunit and the labtop) But make sure you turn off one when you are using the other one. Or just get a switch box to switch it.

Re: LAPTOP QUESTION
hmmm...
you might want to check up on www.streeteffectz.com and www.blitzsafe.com. Blitzsafe provided the in-unit modulator streeteffectz was the dealer... they've been on acura-cl and tl forums for awhile. They're pretty much top notch regarding interior electronics. Blitzsafe hacked into the factory bose stereo system and provided a nice modulator, in which the user presses the cd button (when the cd is on) and the cd player comes out to disc 99. Rather weird, but disc 99 was actually a function for an external input, persay mp3 or even a dvd system. A friend of mine hooked up his ps2 in his cl and it works like a charm! CD Quality sound baby...
who knows, maybe www.streeteffectz.com will have interest in our rides as well.
modulator for the acura bose stereo? $75 shipped through streeteffectz
playing street fighter alpha in a cl on the way to vegas? priceless...
edit: do NOT go for FM modulators... that friend with the streeteffectz kit, did have a fm modulator before.. and it sounded like CRAP. And second of all, he forgot the frequency. HAHAH
