Rich Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 i would expect them to come with fag lighter attachments for the power, so cut them off and hard wire it to the back of the fag lighter. Alternatively run a new cable from the battery to a distribution block then wire them to that. Probably the best option as its a separate circuit. This is all with the appropiate inline fuses of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K3V HA Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 Fcuk ebay mate, ive just got the DVD player the was recommened in max a couple of montsh ago (they said rrp 160) and a 7.2" screen (rrp in max power 160) for 188 quid all in, no charges from america or nothing cos i rang the uk branch up and spoke to em direct!! (they said they shouldnt really cos they are internet prices and US Based) Checked the company out before i gave em my credit card details (with credit check at work) and they are a reputable company so no worries with them. Get them on Monday, so should be up and running then!! (There probably be somat up with em but never mind!!) K3V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 i have the sony CDX-CA900, has one aux input but if you connect the CD changer to it, it disables the aux as its used by the changer. i currently have a universal sony changer which has a separate control system and fm modulator, to keep the aux free for my carputer. Atlhough the changer is working right atm, only plays when it feels like it, usually only the top cd my head unit can control the sony changer but i need a way of connecting the computer to the head unit, something like you use si would be good.
