MP3 player connection to HU
I am on the verge of upgrading a standard HU (hyundai) and have a
couple of questions which I hope someone might please help me with. I believe that If I buy a unit with standard rca aux inputs , once I plug my line/headset output into the connections (I'll need a din to rca Y cable) and select "aux" on the hu, the hu will just play whatever stream it's being fed from the mp3 player, correct? Or, If I buy a unit with an usb connection the hu will act like a pc and actually interrogate whatever I have plugged into the drive slot, it may display the file id tag info on the face of the player, but might not like the fact I have a mixture of file formats on my 40 gb Zen Touch . I also suspect some of the hu's seem to have a firmware limit of what size drive they will read. Any help much appreciated TIA Richard |

Yep. That's exactly how you do it. That's how I run my DVD player into my HU. Or, If I buy a unit with an usb connection the hu will act like a pc and actually interrogate whatever I have plugged into the drive slot, it may display the file id tag info on the face of the player, but might not like the fact I have a mixture of file formats on my 40 gb Zen Touch . I also suspect some of the hu's seem to have a firmware limit of what size drive they will read. I have seen several HU's with USB connections or SD card slots in front. I think it's a FANTASTIC idea and I suspect we will see more of that in the future. However, currently I don't believe any of the big HU makers (Alpine, Sony, Clarion, Kenwood) offer this kind of feature (I could be wrong). However, what these manufacturers do offer is iPod interfaces that allow you to opperate your iPod controls from your HU. Any help much appreciated TIA Richard |
