iv got a cassette adaptor in my car at the moment its alright, its works which is the main thing

 

Yeh I had one of those, the whiring noise drove me mad

 

ya, thats the bad thing about them, been looking for ways to plug in a mp3 with out changing the unit itself but not found anything yet!

 

I tried a fm transmitter too, that was even worse!

ditto, i thought it would be the perfect solution but it just gives me road rage!

haha i also want to be able to play my iphone or a usb stick through the oem head unit! i was going to put my old stereo back in so i could but it would just look out of place with all the fancy blue/red lighting. hmmm..

 

Just about every one I've ever tried gives some sort of unwanted noise,the only way to guarantee what ever you plug in will be noise free is with an after market unit with dedicated aux in.It's asking a bit much to expect a 15 year old tape deck to cope with all that modern technology don't you think[]?

I was hoping you may of been able to use the cd input?

i bought 1 of these but sent it back, the only bad thing about this is that it plugs into the cd player port so u either have this or ur cd player u cant have both, thats why i sent mine bak

 

This one lets you keep the cd player working, you can also control and charge an ipod (not that I will ever own one!)

My two penneth again: I've a parrot Mki9100.

Ten mins to fit, gives you bluetooth, ipod, usb and 3.5mm input. Plugs straight into the back of the gamma. Plenty of lead, so can route up to the armrest, although I've removed the 6cd autochange and gotten myself a cubby where it now lives.

 

I have a parrot kit but its the smallest model, just the answer and hang up buttons.

mega thread bump but any idea what model this was?

My car has come with an old alpine unit and I like the OEM look.

You know you'll suffer a massive drop in sound quality if you swap an Alpine for any low powered OEM deck don't you?

I read that the standard cassette/CD double combo was pretty poor. Was trying to find more info on the one I quoted..
Google image drag and drop search reconised it and it's Clarion 3CP.

Shame the RMT100 is pretty ugly.

Don't really want to derail the thread but what's the options for an OEM look with atleast AUX in put?

 

They've all got the same audio stages (or near as damnit the same),so won't be any better just because it's a CD instead of a tape deck.The problem is that they all have different EQ curves built into them specific to the vehicle they SHOULD be fitted to,so a Golf Gamma in a Golf will sound different to a Sharan Gamma in a Golf.

Sounds like I am about to start an arguement but I'm not but research shows they come from a City Golf.

I thought the main problem was due to the power output of the standard radios?

 

It is down to low power output more than anything else,but they use a VERY savage EQ curve to make the most of the low power.If it is EQ'd for a Golf it won't sound as bad as if it was for say a Polo or Transporter,but also I think as they weren't made for the UK market,it doesn't have RDS if you can live without it?
