Hi all,

Im looking for a bit of advice to allow me to re-wire my kit
"properly".

At the moment I have a Nokia Car kit connected into the stereo (Sony
MDX-C7900 MD Player) speaker loom via a mute lead. Speaker wires then
go to an amp and then to speakers.

This works OK appart from the phone is too loud once the signal has
gone through the amp (remove the amp and all is fine) - cant adjust
the phone volume anymore cos its on minimum.

I also have an iPAQ which runs TomTom for Sat Nav that I would like to
route via the speakers - Another thread in this group suggests that I
can simply route this through the High Level Inputs if I use the low
level inputs for the stereo. Only slight downside is that the stereo
wouldnt mute but Im not worried about that so I guess that will take
care of the iPAQ.

Last but not least, my iPOD. This coonects to a box of tricks that
plugs into the CD changer port on the back of the stereo. Thats taken
care of also.

So...My phone is the problem...Any ideas on where to put this in the
heap of spaghetti wires such that the volume is at a reasonable level
and the stereo is also muted? I can live with the iPAQ shouting now
and again whilst on the phone.

Help!!!

Thanks
Jon
