Aux input for your stereo - September 12th

[Lancer-AM]

If anyone is interested in adding an Aux input to their stereo let me know. It is a fairly easy mod to do and I will be glad to help anyone install it. We'll have to schedule it for early September though. Maybe have everyone over to meet the baby and we can make a day out of it.

[YaXMaN]

You're kidding... Dude. Please help me. FM transmitters SUCK and if I could listen to Pandora through the stock in-dash with decent quality, I would be in heaven.

[Robofuzz]

Absolutely I'd be interested! I hate the modulator I'm using now! :cursing:

[Youngguns350]

You know I'm down to have this done.

[Lancer-AM]

Yeah modulators are terrible. This is a two wire solder job and each stereo can be done in about 15 minutes. Does anyone have a removal tool? getting the stereo out is the worst part.

[Robofuzz]

So, once this is done, I can plug my iPod into the stock stereo? It doesn't have to play a blank CD or anything weird like that?

[Youngguns350]

I don't have one

[Squirrel]

I have the aux in mod and its ****ing GREAT!!!!!
PERFECT sound and no blank cd thing!!!!

[YaXMaN]

Hey I asked first damn it. Just because Robo starts up a cool ass forum doesn't mean he gets any "special" treatment.

Okay, just so we have the clear... am I going to get banned?

[Lancer-AM]

am I going to get banned?
Well yes, but for entirely different reasons :p :cheers:

[Jay GTO]

Hook me up! I live in Waco, we can do it whenever you think suit you. I have weekends off for now. Maybe you can hook me up as a birthday gift? :D

September 19th! WOOO

[Lancer-AM]

You will just need two parts for this mod.

http://cgi.ebay.com/3.5mm-inline-headphone-noise-filter-ipod-noise-filter-_W0QQitemZ350217588053QQcmdZViewItem

You don't need these exact parts from these places but similar items. I was thinking possible Sept. 12th or 13th for this. Which day works best for everyone?

[Robofuzz]

You don't need these exact parts from these places but similar items. I was thinking possible Sept. 12th or 13th for this. Which day works best for everyone?
I'm interested. Either day works with enough advanced warning.

Are there any weird tricks required like playing a CD with nothing on it? How do you select the Aux input rather than the radio or CD changer?

[Lancer-AM]

The way I do the mod does require a CD in the stereo but when done correctly it does not need to be blank, as long as the source signal is strong. I will burn off blanks for everyone though just in case.

Let's shoot for for the 12th.

[Trents_goat5.7]

I have a homemade removal tool, and I would totally be down for this mod, if I don't have it done already. If I do I will still stop by, and help out, and bring the tool.

[Lancer-AM]

Added a sign up. Let me know if you are in. This is free to do you just need to get the parts.

[schufflerbot]

dang!

im totally down for this!!!

sign me up!

[dantheman]

damn i would totally be down if i wasnt best man in a wedding on sept 12. maybe i can send my radio with schuff.

[Lancer-AM]

If you want that is fine, sorry you can't make it. Going to try and get a few Texas wide events going on through the year so hopefully you can make it to another one.

[gage]

i still have my removal tool as well... already have the aux in but i might upgrade it a bit with that noise filter adapter :cheers:

[dantheman]

i appreciate it!

yea my summer has been so crazy busy with friends coming in from out of town, weddings (3 that i am in and 3 that i was invited to), and moving its just been a wild summer for me.

i cant wait for this 3rd wedding im in to be overwith so i dont have to do anything. :P

[Lancer-AM]

i still have my removal tool as well... already have the aux in but i might upgrade it a bit with that noise filter adapter :cheers:

The noise filter isn't required but I strongly recommend it. Otherwise if you charge your player while listening to it you will get whine through the speakers. Although if you want to make people ask if you have a supercharger you can leave it off :p

[schufflerbot]

damn i would totally be down if i wasnt best man in a wedding on sept 12. maybe i can send my radio with schuff.

radio transportation fee: $129.99

:bat:

[dantheman]

sweet!

im running a special right now where i pay you 129.99 to punch you in the balls.

WE BOTH WIN!

oh that is badass!

i havent had a good ball punching in quite a while!

all these pansy assed girlymen around here cant make a good fist!

[YaXMaN]

You know when you check a thread after a little while, and you end up on the second page, and youre reading the posts and saying "what the **** is this?"

Ya, that just happened.

[Lancer-AM]

heh it happens. It happens here a lot.

[Mickey21]

Nice mod guys, Lancer, G, and I performed this mod on our goats a while back and it works awesome... You can get the inline filter at Radioshack as well by the way. But there are quite a few places to get it. Called an inline filter or ground loop isolator. Takes that whine out of the signal if you are powering your device... Wish I could join you all as the new Crewman needs the mod done as well now...

[ducky]

yep...:eek:

[MannyLobo]

How much we talkin? Or are you "hookin it up" for the TX crew? I'd be down for this. I thought about shipping mine off to the guy bohnman on ls1gto, but this would be more efficient. Lemme know whats the dealio...

[Lancer-AM]

Yep no cost except the parts. Want everyone to get together and have fun.

[MannyLobo]

Nice. Sign me up! I could always use another trip to ATX. Hell, that's how I bought my Goat in the first place :D (Nyle Maxwell in Round Rock)

Whereabouts in Austin? Might see if a bud wants to tag along. :cheers:

[Lancer-AM]

Forgot one more piece you will need is a Male to male headphone cable. How long will depend where you want your jack located and how far away your player will be.

Oh yeah I am in Leander which is just north of Austin. I'll send out directions once we are closer to the date. I have the go-ahead from the wife as well.

[Trents_goat5.7]

Hey Lancer, do you know how to do the mod without the blank CD? Because my CD player doesn't work just the radio.

[Lancer-AM]

Hey Lancer, do you know how to do the mod without the blank CD? Because my CD player doesn't work just the radio.
:banghead:

I looked into it once. I'll look at it again. It is much more involved. Might be able to do something special for you on that but I will let you know.

[Trents_goat5.7]

That would be really cool, Im going to tinker with my CD player to try and get it to start working again.

[Lancer-AM]

Ok Trent I looked into it. To be honest I am not comfortable performing that mod. It takes a pencil tip solder iron and some skill. The Aux input I do can be done by an 800 pound gorilla. That said all hope is not lost if you can't get your CD player to work. I have the guide on how to do it and there is a buddy of mine that hangs out with the AGH crew sometimes that is my go to guy for this level of work.

I'll ask him to take a look at it. He usually doesn't work for free and usually asks for about $50 to do this stuff but I will see if I can get him to discount it if you want it done.

I wish I could do this I am just not that good with an iron. If you register on the Austin Modders forums and butter up to those guys a bit the next time we do a meet there are plenty of guys that can do that stuff and they might help you out. They all have a special place in their hearts for GTO's since Mickey21 and I both have them.

[Trents_goat5.7]

I'll see what I can do to get my CD player to work.

[Lancer-AM]

Bump for any of the new folks that might have missed this.

[MannyLobo]

So whats the scoop on this? Been a few days since any new info. Hey, Schuff...whereabouts in the H is you from?

[MacDogg]

Would this work on a G6 CD player/stereo?

[Lancer-AM]

LOL I have no idea. If you can find the instructions on how to do it with the G6 stereo then bring them along and we can give it a shot.

Houston peeps were I'm going to get a thread started once it gets closer to have a cruise up there. I know where im going so you guys can follow me. We'll have fun on the ride up and back. Than after there is a Saturday night meet that i'm going to go to if you guys want to join, or you can head back earlier..

[MannyLobo]

I'm down for that, depending on day and time. I planned on making a weekend in Austin with friends at UT and St. Edwards, but this might be a bit more appealing. Keep me updated.

Hmmm, If I can get off work for a day or two Ill be up for it. I tried tackling this job a few months ago by myself, but I have the crappiest soldering gun (and lack of soldering experience.....), and couldnt get the wires to stay put :mad: lol!

It would be awesome to cruise up there with some other GTO's kingntb, Im sure it will be a lot of fun driving with a whole herd of goats :rockon: Ill have to keep an eye on this thread!

Are you from Houston? If so you can roll up with us. I'm sure well do a caravan up there. Just have to get with Schuff and Mannylobo when the time gets closer to figure out a time and place to meet...

[JayCub]

I actually live in Magnolia which is about 10-15 minutes north of Spring, on the other side of the Woodlands.

[Lancer-AM]

Ok folks we have a lot of people interested and I am really glad this should be pretty fun. But I am going to need to limit the number of folks, due to time and space constraints. Plus I don't want my wife to kill me for the whole of zTexas being in our living room :P I am going to limit this to 12 signups so next person to sign up is the last for this event. Hopefully we can do it again though to catch anyone that misses out.

I did plan on having a friend ride with me. So that would be a head-count of one more. Is that an issue in your "limit?" Just thought I'd throw that out there to ok it with you, and you could ok with the wife.

[JayCub]

Alright sounds good, Im guessing if you are going to be coming through Magnolia you will be headed up 1488 to 290 then right?

No that's fine, I would like to get one more GTO in.

[MannyLobo]

No that's fine, I would like to get one more GTO in.

Well, I AM Mexican. I can possibly fit like 9 people in the GTO. :p

But I'll just stick to the one tag-along. Ha.

Today, I bought a Male-to-Female cord (8 ft), Male-to-Male (6 ft), and Ground-Loop Isolator. You think the cords are long enough?

I'm gettin more and more anxious about this trip :D

Where did you buy them???? I don't think my best buy sells them other wise I would use my killer discount to get them haha..

[BillsMafia]

Alright sounds good, Im guessing if you are going to be coming through Magnolia you will be headed up 1488 to 290 then right?

Yea I believe thats the route.. Well when I went this past Wednesday it took my I45 south to Beltway 8 than to 290.. I'll let you know whats up.. Maybe we should all just meet in one central location.. Everyone needs a walkie in case something happens to one of us.. ex: someone gets pulled over, the rest of us can stop somewhere up the road..

[MannyLobo]

Where did you buy them???? I don't think my best buy sells them other wise I would use my killer discount to get them haha..

I just got mine at Radio Shack, or now known as "The Shack." I noticed that my Ground Loop Isolator is actually not what I needed. So I'll be returning that this week. I actually wanted to get the high quality cables, but didn't wanna spend the extra dough.

Check to see if you have those cables in the audio section.
If so, cop me some, and I'll hit you back with cash.

I agree with you on the one central location meet-up. I also agree on the walkie-talkies. The route I took to Austin last was 290 to FM-734/E Palmer Ln. Took me to North Austin, rather than drive through it. Not sure how far North Lancer lives, but I'm down for any route, anyways. A cruise is a cruise, right? :cool:

[MannyLobo]

On a side note:

Does anyone know how to swap speedometer faces? I bought silver gauges for the Goat, but don't want to swap out the whole clusters and mess up my mileage. Figure I could do that while the stereo is being done.

[JayCub]

Hey Lancer,

I have a couple questions to about the install. Alright I read a few things about the Aux input mod and some say that if you are not charging or powering the device off your car then there is no need for the ground loop isolator, is this true? Cause I have been looking around online at places like walmart, bestbuy, and radio shack, and cant seem to find a ground loop isolator similar to the the one you posted. The closest one I can find is this one here:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=4118145&st=car+isolator&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1122655296186
but it looks like it would have to be modded itself to work. I would rather not buy it online cause I dont want to risk it not getting to me in time for the get together.

[GTOGTX]

Would really like to make this, that would be a good addition fo sho. But we're headed for Colorado that weekend for our 29th anniversery. I'm not thinking she would look favorably on a change in plans....

Thought I'd have to change out the unit to have this option. Don't really want to while it's working fine.

Guess I'll get the directions and lone wolf it later.

[MannyLobo]

I also am wondering about what JayCub says. I got a Ground Loop Isolator from Radio Shack, but it comes with R & L cables (white and red) on both ends. One side comes with the adapter, but the other would still be R & L. Is this sufficient, or should I keep looking? All stores I've tried out only had something similar.

Tht is correct, the ground loop isolator is needed for when you are charging the device. I think I mentioned it somewhere in this thread but it has gotten pretty long. There is nothing stopping you from installing it later.

[MannyLobo]

You did mention it, but I was wondering whether or not the one i bought is good enough. Or, if it'll even work with this mod.

http://rsk.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pRS1C-2160121w345.jpg

This is the one I bought. As you can see, R & L connections on both ends, but mine has an adapter for the headphone jack. So...is this good, or should I keep shopping around?

I checked tonight while I was working, and it doesn't look like we have sh*t.. I'm going to talk to our mobile installer, and see maybe he has them hidden in the install bay.. If not than i'll just head over to Radio Shack.. I'm still waiting for them to approve my time off request for that day. Shouldn't be a problem, my managers are just lazy smurfs who don't do anything.

We'll figure out what our route is once time comes... I'm looking forward to hanging out with the Austin crowd again.. Hey Manny are you going to stay for the meet that night??

[BillsMafia]

Schufflerbot are you still going to this??

Yes you can make that work but you need some different cables.
These are the ones I would recommend for that setup.

http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=2009&sku=40425

The first cable would be connected to the stereo and it would come out to female RCA plugs where you would plug in the GL isolator then you would use the second cable to plug into the other side of the GL isolator and would then plung into your device. This will give you a cable to plug stait into your device. If you would rather have a female 3.5mm plug somewhere to connect a cable to and then to your device we camn get there through a few adapters or some creative soldering. Let me know what you would like to do.

What time 'til what time? Are you driving back after that? Me and my buddy might just make it a night in Austin, but I'll run it by him.

[BillsMafia]

Well Tents Goat5.7 and Youngguns350 were telling me that people are usually there till a little after midnight. So I'm guessing we wouldn't head back until 1230ish, and putting us into Houston around 330-4am. It would be really late getting home, but it would be fun to hang out with the guys from the Austin crew..

I'm still waiting on word from work if they are going to allow me to get off work. For some reason I have a gut feeling that there going to be d-bags and not allow me to have a Saturday off... There really tough on giving AP's any of the weekend days off... So I'll have to see tonight when I go into work if they approved it or not, if they didn't i'll mention it to my supervisor to get a answer out of her... I'll let you know whats up when I get out of work..

[BillsMafia]

Well they scheduled me for that day. So tomorrow we have a department meeting, and I'm going to say something because it has been a over a week that the request was sent. So we'll see if I can work my magic.

[MannyLobo]

So, Lancer --- In addition to the ground loop isolator I bought, I got a 6 ft RCA cable with Y-adapter, 3 foot RCA cable and a coupler. Think that'll be good enough? 9+ feet with the Isolator...

Well they scheduled me for that day. So tomorrow we have a department meeting, and I'm going to say something because it has been a over a week that the request was sent. So we'll see if I can work my magic.

I'm guessing it didn't go too well...

Nope. They claim they need my that weekend, and cannot grant the time off.. :bat:

[Lancer-AM]

So, Lancer --- In addition to the ground loop isolator I bought, I got a 6 ft RCA cable with Y-adapter, 3 foot RCA cable and a coupler. Think that'll be good enough? 9+ feet with the Isolator...

How many of those barrel connectors did you get? For that setup you would need 4. Otherwise you are good to go.

[BillsMafia]

Damm I wish I was able to come to this..

Yeah. I literally gotta take my 4th or 5th trip to The Shack, now. ha. I noticed my GLI came with a Y-adapter. So, I'll just need a longer RCA cable, and a pair of couplers.

Than she tells me "O you really don't need that day off do you?" I told her yea I would like too, than she tells me she cant because im the only one that can work. I might try to sweet talk her tomorrow if I see her :cheers:

Good luck, man. I'm starting to wonder if everyone else from Houston kinda faded out of this. I, for sure, would've cruised up there with ya

Yea I know. Work screwed me over on this one for sure..

[QSGTO]

You can make your own removal tool from a coat hanger. Just cut 4 pieces 6" longbend a 2" 90 degree bend at the end for handles. stick em in the holes and work the radio out.

[JayCub]

Well, I am still down, I requested Friday and Saturday off so I can clean the goat up a little before the trip. That sucks that you probably cant make it NTB. Anyone else from Houston that is going want to meet up somewhere and cruise up there with me on Saturday? if so send me a pm on here and we can sit something up!

[Lancer-AM]

For those that are attending here is where you are going.

Look forward to everyone coming out. You don't need to bring anything aside from what you need for your stereo, if you want to brings drinks that would be appreciated since we have so many people. For food we are going to take a trip down the road to a place called Moonie's. They were voted one of the best hamburgers in town and if you taste them you will see why. Anyone that went with us to Mighty Fine be prepared for one of the few burgers that can beat that out.

Let's try and kick this off at about 10am so we can get a few out of the way before food.

Thanks for posting up the directions, I was going to pm you here in the next day or so for them. Im going to try to leave around 7am on saturday so that should give me plenty of time to make it there, everytime I have drove to Austin it has never taken the full 3 hours that mapquest and google says it takes.

[MannyLobo]

Awesome. Lookin forward to this Saturday. I'll probably head up to Austin on friday evening, getting me there sometime that night. Wakin up on Saturday would suck for me, since I like to catch a few more Z's. Gonna get a room, since I plan on visiting some friends after our lil' shindig. Any decent motels you recommend, Austin-ites? Any I should avoid?

See yall Saturday.

Oh...and Happy B-day, Lancer. Noticed it at the bottom of the page.

[BillsMafia]

It was your birthday Lancer? Happy Birthday!!!

[Lancer-AM]

Thanks guys. Look forward to seeing yall on Sat. If you guys are in town Friday night, give me a call and we'll all see about finding a beer. PM me for my number.

[MannyLobo]

Yeah. Guess I'm gonna buck up and drive Saturday morning with JayCub. Only speaking for myself, so not sure if anyone else is heading up Friday.

Are you still going to the car meet that Mike was mentioning before he had to cancel? Where exactly is it at? The friend I'm gonna visit in Austin might meet up with me that night, unless it's a drive for her.

[Lancer-AM]

The meet is just down the road from my house. Tell her it is at 1431 and 183A at the new shopping center in Cedar Park and she should know where it is at. We'll be at the meet around 6:30 -7:00

[YaXMaN]

See you guys in the morning at 10am. This is awesome Lancer. Can't wait!!!

[Lancer-AM]

Hey guys we are supposed to have a lot of storms tomorrow. This doesn't change our plans but I want everyone coming to be very careful. Take your time and drive slow, no rush.

[Lancer-AM]

if you would like to meet the newest member of the Goat Heard come on by.

[Youngguns350]

I won't be able to make it out there to do the mod but will hopefully see y'all at the meet if it not raining like it was last week. :(

[Lancer-AM]

If anyone is missing any parts they need come on anyways, the Radio Shack down the road should have it covered.

[BillsMafia]

Damm I really wish I was able to attend this... I'm going to have to find time to come up to that meet that we were talking about while doing my header install. Youngguns350, Lancer, and Trent I'll let you guys know when I find a Saturday to come up. The cool thing is when just got a new LP so there going to split Saturdays into 3rd's. So when I get the 830-130 shift I'll probably head up for the Sat meet. Maybe I'll talk some Houston Goats into coming with.

[Lancer-AM]

I hope everyone had a good time today. I enjoyed getting to work on all of your cars. I wish the weather would have held up a bit better but it couldn't have been helped. We ended up doing 4 aux-in mods and 2 ignition cylinder preventative maintence jobs. I have some pictures I will post up a bit later. I hope everyone is feeling ok after you guys left I got a little sick and have been out of it.

[JayCub]

Sucks to hear you got sick, but I had a good time man. Well except for being sore and tired from 2 long drives today lol, but it was worth it. And I finally got my mp3 player working since it decided to screw up at your house :mad:. Besides the rain it was a good day, we really need to set up more GTO gatherings like this.

[YaXMaN]

Great to meet all you crazy fewlios!!! We had some laughs...

Lancer. Dude. I could have never done that mod, and had some semblance of a working headunit afterwards. LOL You made it look easy.

It's working freakin' great. Sorry I had to leave early. Wife and I went to watch the game, and on the way over, watched "Cars" of all things on my iPhone, playing through the system. That is so damn nice. I couldn't stand an FM transmitter's sound quality.

I'm gonna post some pics... maybe a video of it working. So dang happy I don't have to buy a new headunit.

[BillsMafia]

Would you be up to head up there for one of there Saturday meets? I'm probably going to one of these Saturdays. I wish I could have made it, but work owns my life.

[MannyLobo]

Oh man. Had such a great time. A lil' meet and greet with some fellow goat owners. Glad to be a part, and the mod is AWESOME! JayCub, you left just in time. I hung around for a few more hours, and had dinner with some friends. Went 71 to I-10, hauling ass the whole way, but the rain got BAD!!! Lit up the sky the entire way. I was goin 90 - 120 (minus the rainy parts and heavy turns) the whole way. Not a single cop the whole ride back.

I'll definitely be down to head back up there in the future. Be sure to let me know so I can plan ahead.

[Robofuzz]

Sorry I didn't make it! My 12 year old son ran his first 5K Saturday morning - plus Fiona doesn't come out in the rain (apparently MBM is actually a water-based paint - who knew? ;))

[Lancer-AM]

Yeah we figured that the rain was keeping you away. It was pretty bad.

[YaXMaN]

Rain wouldn't stop! It was whack, yo.

[Lancer-AM]

Yax, thanks for the baby gift, it is really appreciated.

[MannyLobo]

Here's a few pix from Saturday. I was too busy jabbering, so I only took a few.

Wish I could've got some more pix. When we went to lunch, we all parked in a line, but I couldn't get a shot because of the rain. :mad:

Once again, thanks to Lancer for this great Mod. I'll be back to visit the Austin Herd many times.

[Youngguns350]

I hate that I missed this!

But I got off late because the rain stopped my crew from getting done in time. :(

Working outside FTL!
