mini ipod setup
I've got a '03 civic and I'm trying to use the empty fog light panel to make
a female connection for my RCA plugs coming out from my ipod. I'm having trouble finding a RCA dual plug mount which I can use to make a nice neat look. Anyone know where I can find one? I've looked everywhere but could only find ones for PC boards. Dmitry |

Dmitry Why are you using dual RCA plugs? Why not just use a 1/8" phono jack patch cable to connect your iPod? Panel-mount 1/8" phono jacks are a lot easier to come by, and you only have to connect one plug when you want to listen to your iPod, rather than two RCA plugs. If you *have* to use RCA connectors, I can't find any dual-RCA panel-mount options, either. You should be able to mount two single RCA panel-mount plugs neatly next to one another in adjacent holes, though. That should still look very clean. Here's a link to some pretty gold-plated Cardas plugs: http://www.thecablepro.com/cableDeta...?cID=42&cgID=1 Scott Gardner |

http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=274%2D883 Something like this? I guess I should be looking for a jack and not a plug. Know where I can find some panel mounted jacks? And what about the female RCA connectors coming from the AUX converter, how will I be able to switch them into male connec.?
