  1. The link to my wheels (Rota SDR) doesn't work anymore, my bad. They can be seen at Post #437 here http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1500&page=30&pp=15
  2. Yeah, I pulled mine apart again tonight to install a GLI that I bought from radioshack. As I finished putting it back together I wished I had taken pics of the procedure/setup. Sorry. I just have a Belkin TuneBase plugged into the lighter plug and it holds/charges my iPod as well as provides an aux. out. I run my cord straight into it. The GLI a bought came with a ~2" length 1/8" plug to RCA cord which I used to go from Jazzy's board to the GLI (purposely switched L/R channels). The other end of it is a long RCA cord that I will run to a RCA to 1/8" plug cord, and then into my Belkin TuneBase. I've assembled the radio, but I'm waiting until tomorrow to install/test. I'll give an update then. I'm gonna look into drilling a hole in the ashtray to mount an input jack that I can plug in and out of. Hopefully I don't lose too much/any signal due to my repeated RCA to 1/8" plug conversions. I didn't want to have to wait for the 1/8" plug GLI from Crutchfield. Must have instant gratification. Oh, and those screws used throughout the radio are some of the softest screws I've ever used, especially the faceplate screws. I had to be extremely careful not to strip them.
  3. FYI, I just brought my laptop out to my car and can confirm that the L/R channels are reversed. Doesn't really matter to me as I'm only really using my iPod and it's always center balanced.
  4. I have the exact same noise with my Belkin TuneBase. I ran my cord through the ashtray where it plugs right into the line out jack on the TuneBase. Now my Ipod is positioned perfectly, gets charged, and is direct-connect line out, but I get that annoying whine. Doesn't do it when plugged directly into the Ipod, and it didn't do it when using the TuneBase as an FM transmitter. Would love if someone had an idea for a solution. BTW, the whole aux-in package was done very well. Good workmanship and directions. I only had one issue with installation. There was a ground wire connected to one of the bracket screws on my radio. The screw would not come out, I ended up stripping it. I just clipped the wire and then connected it to a different bracket screw upon reinstallation. Not being able to remove that screw meant I had to bend the bracket to clear the top cover on the radio. Not a show stopper, just a speedbump along the way. Thanks for putting this together, it is sooooo much better than the FM transmitter, and a steal at $35. Oh, and it took me about an hour and a half, start to finish. Probably could have done it faster without the stripped screw issue and having to be sneaky because I was still at work.
  5. Wife is at class and she has the mail key. It's getting dark so I guess I won't be installing tonight.
