rob d Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 ok, I have nought my stereo upgrade and every cable that JVC ever made to mate to the Bose and steering wheel and the bloody ariel. A thought is worrying at my excitement..... How do I plug the SAT NAV in ? That is for the voice instructions to come through the speakers. kinda hoping they go direct to the amp. Too much to ask I know..... Any advice ? Anyone installed a reversing camera ? is it worth it? Havent bought one but it's an option on the connections.

un1eash Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Not if you have a spare Aux input. As i use USB and Ipod connections i used my Aux input and wired it upto the sat nav. Only down side is you have to have aux input selected which means no music while using sat nav, i was going to have a look into using the tel mute and tel inputs on the headunit but havent got round to it. ps. My headunit is a Alpine CDA-9886R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

un1eash Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 The sat nav simply has a line out for the sound consisting of a Left, Right and Earth wire. I believe it also has a mute wire that can be used in the same way you wire up a telephone to a headunit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb350 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 has anyone found a fix for this issue? Just a thought.. but if you got a separate amp to feed the speakers, then you'd have the line out from the stereo feeding the amp. Say you could get some sort of automatic audio switch which has two stereo inputs and one stereo output. It normally feeds one input through, but if any audio is present on the other input, it overrides that and sends the other signal instead. You could therefore plug your stereo and sat nav into such a switch, and have the output going to the amp. Whenever the sat nav says something, it'd override the stereo and your speakers would output the satnav. I know such a device exists, but I've been searching the web and can't find one! You might need to jerry-rig up some sort of A/V component meant for a home stereo, but I bet it could be done. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky370z Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 i have fitted a reverse cam. its awesome!! great bit of kit really. 20 quid from ebay!! the longest bit was getting the wire from the front to the back and soldering the reverse signal. well worth it tho.
