2004 Saturn with CD/MP3 Player - Is it possible to input audio?
Attention car stereo experts!
On long trips, I like to use my laptop as a DVD player to entertain the kids. Because the volume on my laptop was inadequate, we used to connect the headphone jack of the laptop to the cassette player in the car (using one of those cassette-like converter cables) so that we could better hear the movie using the car stereo speakers. My old car is gone and my new Saturn has the CD/MP3 Player. Is this possible to input sound from an external device with the Saturn CD/MP3 Player? There are no audio input jacks on the player itself, but has anyone out there ever pulled out the CD/MP3 unit to see if there is a way to wire in an external jack? If so, please let me know. Having a CD player is much better than a cassette player, but being able to input audio was a feature I liked with the cassette player. Hopefully there is a way to get it done with the CD player as well. Thanks in advance. -- K Russell Mechanicsville, VA |

Get the one from Radio Shack. It's light years better than the one from Best
Buy. No frequency drift. Ken "BANDIT2941" > wrote in message ... > >On long trips, I like to use my laptop as a DVD player to entertain the > >kids.

You also could check with a local car audio company, one of the GM adapters
from Pacific Accessory Corporation may work. For example: http://www.pac-audio.com/products/aai.htm, scroll down to AAI-GM24, that adapter would work I would think.
