Ok, well If any of you read my previous thread Essentially I gave up on the cd player issue, I went to the nearest radio shack and bought an "Audio Dubbing Cord" so I could connect my Ipod to my stereo... Only problem is that there isn't a place to put it in the front.. (my cigarette lighter is broken or else I would have bought the one that plugs into that)


So I spent the last 3 hours trying to remove the stereo so I could plug this in and realized It is attached to the vinyl some how, So Ive been trying to remove the vinyl around the head unit with no success so far...

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

 

what vinyl around the head unit

 

ugh, I can't take a picture atm but the red vinyl on the sides....


ether way how would I go about removing the stereo.... That is the real problem :S

sorry if im confusing you, I don't know a whole lot about cars (well as much as everyone else on this site probably knows)

thats one of the cords I bought to connect my Ipod to my stereo... but apparently if the Aux isn't in the front I have to plug it into the back..

 

Wha? Red Vinyl?

That cable won't work. There is no 1/8 inch audio aux. jack on the back of stock CL headunits.

If you really need it taken apart, why not have someone do it for you who knows what they are doing? You have to take out the whole center console.

Doesnt matter, that cable wont work..

Yeah, are you sure you have a 1st gen Acura CL? Cause we dont have any red vinyl or any 1/8in aux input. So basically you're making absolutely NO sense.

 

My only guess is that you bought your car used and someone wrapped your piece for around your radio in red vinyl. So what year do you have and this will be a lot easier. And I'm guessing the iPod hook up to an AUX input is on an aftermarket Head Unit?

 

Ok sorry for the lack of an update, I found a radio fm transmiter for my Ipod so I no longer need to take apart the radio ect...


Its not really red vinyl Ill try to find a picture (its an acura 2.3 cl 1998)

See that outlying border??? thats what I meant by vinyl

 

haha, thats called wood grain. hahaha@red vinyl.

And uh..so do you still need to take it apart or are you fine now?

 

as far as your cigarette lighter maybe u should of checked your fuses and maybe u could avoided all this headache
