Hello!
I have a GP with a HU that does not read MP3 and does not support an AUX input. I already tried, took it out, saw the diagram, made the cable... it just doesn't give the AUX option, it must be the most basic HU.
I want to keep my steering wheel controls and I want an aux input with good quality. I already tried one of those fm transmitters but sound quality is just terrible.
I saw this today on a car shop:
This is a FM modulator that connects straight in the back of the HU's antenna input. So it kinda' goes between the HU and the antenna. I presume it will deliver better quality than the standard fm transmitters, 'radio-like' quality.
Has anyone ever seen/heard one of this in action? Is it any good?
I though I'd ask here first before going through the trouble of spending money (almost 50 Euro!) and time installing it only to realize it's the same as the fm transmitters.
One more question, if I was to buy this and install it, where can I (easily) get 12v? I know the cigarette lighter is one option but that only works when the car is on, I'd like a source that's is on even if the car is off.
Any advice is much appreciated!
Thanks!
