Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

Ok, so I am thinking about doing this, and no offense Bill but like I had no idea what you were saying nor do I think you understood my jiberish, so I think if I post it on here I will get a good answer lol. So here is what I wanna do, I would like to be able to play mp3 files off an Xboxs harddrive through my car audio system. I have a stock headunit for a 2000 Galant, and no aux input as far as I know. What do I need to do this?

pac aux-box will give you an aux input

Hmm, thanks for that suggestion, but it seems according to their website that it wont work for Mitsubishi models. This is gonna sound lame, but is there a way to splice the audio coming from the xbox into the amp/subs or something, remember I know nothing about car audio, as Bill can atest to, only how to stain glass.

dude i told you how we have to do this... lol

i know how to stain my underwear......why the stock hu? for under 200 you could get a hu with everything you need for a system plus aux input.....although im curious about bills idea....

he doesnt want to spend the money but i keep telling him to do it the right way first. but he doesnt want to listen... in m o it will end up costing just as much if not more to wire it the way he wants in adaptors and other crap.

Its just like I can get an xbox for $100 so I wish that is all I had to do, and then like buy some magic cheap adapeter. A HU is another $200, so now were at $300 and thats like woah too much, I wonder if I can hook up my psp somehow...

You can play use your PSP..but I believe you'll need an aux input . Just buy a HU dude..Save up and do it the right way. You'll be glad you did. 50 bucks a week and in a months time you can do what you want. Actually, I saw a Clarion model with MP3 and aux for a little over a 100 plus s/h. Pretty good deal if you want somethin cheap that'll work well.

There probably isnt an easy or cheap way. I can tell you right now there is no easy AND cheap way to do this.

It probably cant be done or will cost a ton of money and LOTS of time.

Just buy another head unit. Look for a used on on E Bay.

audiocontrol has a unit that allows you to interface a factory radio to an aftermarket stereo system.
I believe it also offers an aux input.
