Question

Hi

I am about to buy an ipaq sat nav solution and want to push the sound through the car speakers also utilise it as an mp3 player. I have a single CD player (no cassette) and don't want to have to use an FM transmitter.

Anyone got any ideas how i can may achieve this????

cheers.

I think we're conversing anyway via www.ihavetohave.it but...

1. To use the ipaq as an mp3 player (not a great way forward IMHO) we can supply auxiliary input adaptors that replace the CD changer with a pair of phono sockets.

2. For sat nav audio prompts, there are wiring harnesses available that will manage the audio interrupt. In combination with application 1 though, things are going to get a little messy....
