So, I found the audio wires leading from the cassette player to beneath the metal strip, unplugged them from the tape deck, and just soldered a hookup onto them. Unfortunately, whenever I connect more than one wire, the signal become muddy and full of static.
The same happens if I connect one channel and the ground. Any help please?! I have a SC and is keen to attempt this hack. However, I have yet failed to read anybody actually having success with SC! Please advise, thanks. I just did this to the radio in my and it worked great. I may take it apart and eyeball it anyway. That works fine,did it on a Sc with 3 Cd Changer,only problem is that it does not accept the Dummy Tape,it will be ejected after seconds,it works only with a complete tape with no music recorded.
Think about a pice of metal as replacement for the tape?! Any other ideas?? Best regards! Followed this procedure today on my and it worked beautifully — a very elegant hack. It took a while to find the connector card you were talking about and I really should have taken a photo to help replace your lost flickr ones. For anyone else reading this, the car in question is about 80mm high by 50mm across and is left sitting vertically at the rear right of the radio cabinet running parallel to the facia of the radio unit once you remove the cassette head.
For the record I also wired a headphone jack to an 8 pin mini din and tried that in the CD Changer input this morning. As you say above, the stereo unit will not allow you to change to CD input with just this mod. Clearly some electronics are required to make the unit believe it is talking to a CD player.
As it turns out the audio is working great with this modification for me, but my tape deck keeps switching the tape from side A to side B. Anyone have any idea how to disable that? Just made this conversion on a Volvo I removed the ribbon from those three spots and pushed my wires through the original holes which made soldering much easier. It has the CD and tape sections I think the orignal poster perhaps only had tape…comment 2 above is an accurate picture of what my unit looks like…WITH the CD player removed.
I took too many parts and assemblies apart. All you need to do is this: put the unit upright should be CD side UP. CD player assembly will now be exposed. Set those screws aside. You know the rule of thumb, if the solder fumes last one second or less, your iron is too hot too high a wattage.
The superior way is to flow new solder on the pads individually, then use solder braid or a soldapult to remove ALL solder. You now have a nice place you can stick your cable wires and get a proper mechanical connection, instead of just shoving it down into a solder mound. Anyhow, be careful. For this particular double-height radio vintage, while poster 2 was extraordinarily helpful, I do not believe he or she posted every step if you have the CD player in there.
Tread carefully. I am in troubleshooting mode here but I suspect not many people would be likely to do the same. Sorry trigger happy, did not finish last post, the radio is a double height radio but is the later model than in Matts picture.
Notably it does not have the buttons on the front , though It does have a din socket at the back. Thanks for any help. For the life of me I cannot understand which four screws to undo? What is the head unit? The top the bottom the back or the facia? I have a GLT. I have a CD changer button, but no CD changer.
I was hoping that there would be an input in the back for CD changer that i could just plug some kind of adapter from the headphone jack into. This worked great for me. Once again, thanks! I have iPod mounted behind the rear left panel in trunk because that's where the Adapter is and it stays there permanently. I only remove the iPod when I wish to arrange music, plylist or add new tunes etc. Then I can select CD from 1 to 9. These represent the first 9 Playlist on the iPod.
You can have any number of tracks in a Playlist s if you wish. When CD 10 is selected it plays all iPod tunes from start to end in serial fashion. Post by matthew1 » Tue Dec 28, pm.
