iphone and a 05 rx8

warwickben · 02-23-2009, 08:46 AM

hey guys and girls.
iam sick of having problems with my charger/fm transmitter.
i have had 3 different ones and i always have the same problem, always having to find a new station to use every 15 mins.

my question is simple.
is there any way to connect it to my stereo with rca plugs?
i know there is some other ways to do it but i wanted to see if it can be done,mainly the other ways with only work with a ipod. i figure it would be better if i could plug any thing into it.

Not really have to cut anything.. You would have to solder.

I think this is the cheapest way if you have time to solder things.. And headphone jack wires are pretty cheap. This way you could hook up anything that has head phone jack on it. I've used mine with iPod, laptop, etc..

dont use easy connects, they usually don't break the wiring case and are shitty anyways, solder FTW.
