Ipod AUX in for Clarion XMD1

[jsz]

I just typed in about 10 different searches on crutchfield.com and could't find that part. I saw others but none that worked with clarion. Did you see a part # or what did you type in to bring it up? thanks for the help.

You will need to do a search by part number.
You can get this part number from your owner’s manual.

If you give me the brand name and model number I will try and find it for you.

Have you thought about a Dension Ice Link Plus? It fits to the bottom of an iPod and has RCA outputs that plug into any headunit. It will also charge at the sametime.

David, thanks for the offer. It's a clarion xmd1. I looked though the owners manual but couldn't find anything on aux input info.

Lee, it's not an ipod. It's another brand of MP3 player so accesories are a little harder to find.

I herd from my friend, and he said that there is no adapter made for you radio.
If you find out different, please let me know
Thanks

OK, I just finished the teak step and I'm up for another project. I'm determined to get this MP3 adapter to work for My Clarion XMD1.

Tip mentioned he used 18g speaker wire and built it just like the diagram.

As shown, does the 2 and 3 join together to go to the left RCA?

Is the AUX/normal part in the lower left corner basically the on/ off toggle? A picture would help a TON!!!

I want to try and wire it directly from the 13 pin DIN to a 1/8" jack (wothout the RCA jacks) Is this what you were talking about in your 3-23-2006 post that I've quoted below?

"Or you can connect the two shielded ground wires in the diagram together and solder them to the tip portion of a 1/8" stereo plug. Then solder each of the remaining wires to the other two terminals on the 1/8" plug."

I'm sorry but you lost me here. I know you didn't do yours this way but I'm sure it can be done. It's now a mission, a quest and once we figure it out we could make $$$MEELIONS$$$. Let me know if you have any pics or could possibly clarify the explination. Thanks

I'll take some pictures of my cable and get them posted, I'll try to get the pictures posted this evening.

I can make one of those, maybe even without having to use a toggle switch, for about $25 shipped. I would just need to know what you wanted on the end of it, M-RCA, F-RCA, mini, etc.

Tip,

Are you back in Vancouver now? Have you had your boat in the NW waters? We leave for Prineville Reservoir this Wednesday until Sunday. Should be nice, in the 90's, water is 80 degrees.

Then the next weekend is the Stayton Motor Sports weekend at Detroit lake. Are you going to go?

Mark,
We are back in Vancouver. We had a little trouble in Las Vegas, my Suburban was stolen. Fortunately the boat was not attached at the time. We have not lauched the boat in NW waters yet because the boat keys were in the truck when it was stolen so I have to replace the ignition.

Next weekend is not looking likely because of all the insurance mess I have to deal with as result of the auto theft.

Bummer we lost those last couple days worth of posts on this thread. Luckily I printed out the last couple pics that Tip posted.

I found a local electronics shop that has all the parts for the adapter( 13 pin din, toggle, and 3.5mm jack with wire) I hope to buy the stuff and get started on it this week.

[spharis]

Yeah I had posted up a method to get it to where all you need to do is turn your ipod on, at which point the radio will select it.....The other cool thing is that the ipod will be charging.

You have to but a $3 ipod harness, and the 13 pin......I can repost if anyone wants to do it, or I can make one if someone sends the parts.

[jsz]

REPOST!!!! I just bought some parts but I want to see yours before I start cutting.

[jsz]

13 pin din, on/off toggle, and 10' of 3.5mm headphone jack extension = $11.
Soldering tiny wires to even smaller pins = 1 1/2 frustrating hours
Plugging it in and having it work on the first try = PRICELESS
Being able to tell my wife I've finished the last stereo project on the boat = EVEN MORE PRICELESS

Thanks for the help Tip!!!

new gadget

so this is a really old thread but i thought it'd be fun to add my anywhoo i was going to build one of these connections for my 2001's clarion headunit but decided that since i will be using 2 different ipods in multiple cars/boat i would get an fm transmitter instead. well dlo came to the rescue with their newest ipod transdock. this thing is sweet. its got a beefed up fm transmitter so with a little tweak or two you can easily get a clear station. we live just north of (apx. 10 min.) downtown austin and were still able to get open frequencies while driving midday. later in the day it got even clearer though. on the lakes we go to most of the channels are open anyway so its gonna be nice i'm assuming. the best part though is that the dock has usb ports, an aux. input, and an a/v input. you can play movies off ur ipod if you have screens. the usb allows you to charge a cell or whatever else you've got simultaneously while listening to ur music. it also charges ur ipod while playing. the other cool thing is that if you get a male to male input you can play a shuffle or any other device you can think of throgh the aux. input. i got one at target for like $80 but i'm sure the price will drop soon. cool gadget though when compared to what else is out there.
