How To: Build and Hardwire an Auxillary Input to OEM Stereo
#454
I have a 1993 LS400 and have an ipone 3G
Did the relay setup with the 3.5mm to RCA cable and it does not work.
I did it all the splicing at the back of the Head unit.
When I select the CD button, the CD starts to play but when I flip the SPST Toggle switch, NO sound !! I have tried it on both Normally Open and Normally closed in the relays.
I don't know if I should try that 2 AUDIO, 1 VIDEO, USB Cable from Apple Store???
Is there anything at the LCD display that would indicate that I using the Iphone as Aux input. Please any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

It worked !!!!
Thank you PD and all
My wires from headunit were in the wrong pole at the relays. I studied the wiring diagram from PureDrifter and realized that I had connected then in the wrong spot.
This is so cool !!!
One issue though, after I was playing my iphone for about 10 min, my battery died, car wouldn't start. anybody have had this issue?? Is it normal ???
Thanks.

it might have just been that you spent all that time listening to musiic while doing the mod without the engine running that it drained the battery, but always helps to check the wiring

I've read through this whole thread, and I'd love to be able to do a mod like this to use my iPod without a lame casette adapter. I understand that it wont work if the head unit wont switch to CD. I've got a 92 SC4, with the Pioneer CD player. Does anyone know if there has to be a magazine present in the CD player for the head unit to switch? The CD player appears to power on, but there was no CD magazine when I bought the car, so I dont know if its working correctly or not. Thanks.
