Hello.
I thought my installation of my amplifier and sub was nearly finished, but I was wrong. My local car audio dealer sold me an adapter (mini ISO perhaps) that should connect to the back of my Blaupunkt/Visteon OEM radio / CD player and produce a low level signal.
Every cable is now where it should be, but it still does not produce a low level signal - the player confuses the plug with either a phone or some traffic update signals. So, this comfirms that everyone on the forum is correct - it is not possible to make straight line outs with the OEM player.
And I don't want an aftermaket one, as the facia adapter is extremely nasty. And even worse when aftermarket HU are installed.
So over to the question. There exists some adapters that converts a high level signal (speaker output from OEM head unit) to low level signal, which suits my Phoenix Gold amp in the boot.
I will try to use the signals that go to the rear speakers, but is it ok to hack into the existing wires without cutting the feed for the rear speakers? So the rear speakers still function, but in addition sending a signal to the high/low signal converter? Will something blow up or burn down then?
