so i have a Pioneer DEH 2800Mp stereo and it has outputs but no input jacks, is there a way i can hardwire one in or something, i am tired of the FM transmitter, and i have no idea what my options are haha

[Al Hasse]

Might be on the pricey side, but worth a look. It'll even charge your iPod.

I had no idea such a thing existed

the 90 bucks in that link is high though since you can buy a new head unit that has aux/ipod inputs for around that. But still thats pretty cool.

I had no idea.

yeah i might look into a new deck, ill compare prices when i have time tomorrow

[Al Hasse]

There are others out there too. I just picked the first manufacturer that I knew off the top of my head. I need to a similar interface in my 89 so I can install satellite radio, but I need to install the slave cassette deck and harness that goes with the CD/radio

[flea]

Wait are you saying there are others too?!?

Next you are going to tell me the world, she is round like the apple.

a quick look at ebay shows some kenwood stereos/mp3 players for only 80 to 150. you might check around unless you really like that particular stereo

[mc6811]

is yours a cd player?

[Al Hasse]

I looked up his deck, it's a CD deck but very basic as far as input/output goes. Not even a CD changer control, 4 channel speaker level out, 2 channel RCA out, no aux in.

If that was for me, my 89 has a Delco CD head unit from a 2002 truck with a 9-pin auxiliary port for a slave unit. I have a slave cassette but no harness yet. I intend to keep this one looking as much stock as possible inside, so to run an amplifier, a line level converter is needed.

Check this out from amazon same stereo but with the extras if you want to keep it looking the same and only 20 buck more than the kit

yeah i think runnin an interface would be a lil spendy when i could just get a new cheaper deck with a aux port. i dont really care for my stereo anyway


really off topic but i always have these small questions that i need answered so here it goes.. alright first week of april i am puttin on my new wheels and tires, since they are 17" and a lot wider than what i have now do i need to balance and align the wheels or just balance

[Dewey316]

I would get an alignment just to be on the safe side.

The tire shop shoudl balance no matter what. If they don't balance, find a new shop.

[mc6811]

I agree. At the cost of the new tires an alignment is well worth the money spent. The last camaro I had in the mid 90's, I put new tires and didn't have it aligned, 10,000 miles later i needed new tires. Not cheap.

Al, do you have pics of the input you were talking about?

It would be awsome to keep a factory deck in my new truck, but have sirrus/mp3 inputs for it.

I imagine I could get a deck easy from a wrecking yard.

[Al Hasse]

I might hav a picture, but if not I'll take some as I do the install. The TheftLock head units like the one in my 89 have an additional port on the back for a 9-pin harness to interface with a slave CD, cassette or CD changer.

I have the headunit, the slave cassette deck I got for free. I still need to research a bit to see which product I need for the install.
