Technical A Head Unit Q: Make Line-in...

[84jr0]

Hi,

I'm going for a trip with my Stilo 1.8 16v Dynamic and it would be nice with some entertainment. This is what I will use -> http://www.archos.com/products/overview/av400_series.html?sid=j2232yjjbycoko2bo4oocf

An Archos AV400, can play MP3, Divx, Xvid and store photos from my digital camera etc.

Now I want to use existing Visteon head unit to get sound from Archos player in my car. Is there any possibility to do as I imagine? If yes, what do I need for conectors?

Grateful for any suggestions!

Excuse me for my bad english

Cheers,
84jr0

There was a thread recently about connectors on the Visteon unit. I have not seen behind it, so unless someone wants to pull it out and have a look?!

I would imagine there is an AUX IN though.

First post here https://www.fiatforum.com/showthread.php?t=23212 - they wanted it for something different, but it looks like AUX IN is what you want. Also, now realise this NOT for the Visteon unit....

Thanks! But that threat is about Blaupunkt head unit, mine HD is Visteon and I don't have a AUX IN...

I realised that as soon as I posted it, sorry - I just recalled AUX IN being mentioned recently

Anyone in here who have tried FM-Modulator to create AUX IN?

What's designation on Visteon head units?

I have used a FM unit before and was happy, a stilo owner has done this before:
