I've been look at threads about the AUX input adapaters like SCHOND3, blitzsafe, icelink, etc etc and I'm getting more confused about which one is which and the differences. The threads I read talked about '05 TSXs with XM and '04 TSXs with Navi...

Basically, I just need AUX input for my '04 non-navi, so no XM no Navi, and no Ipod (planning to use pocket pc as Nav and mp3 player).

The question is:
1. Which one would be the best and cost efficient solution?
2. Is the install just a matter of plugging it in the empty plug behind the stereo?
3. Ground Loop Isolator... would I need this?
4. I read something regarding bad Blitzsafe adapters (some miswiring)...should I avoid that?
5. Where to get it? logjam? mp3yourcar?

Thanks!

 

1) SNHOND3
2) yes
3) if you are going to have your pocket pc running off the 12v power supply probably
4) see (1
5) logjam

LOL
But true.

I just put in a SNHOND3 and it works great.

Make sure you put a ground loop isolator in there too.

Oops - duh you already told him to do that. It really DOES make that much of a difference.

 

Thanks.... I like to-the-point answers

So any recommendations for a good ground loop isolator? How much should they cost?

 

Hmm... well I tried a Radio Shack one but it had the wrong connector ends on it. My roommate had a different one lying around with the correct connectors. My radio shack one seems to be performing OK.

 

I am getting PIE HON/SON
from enfig caraudio.com.....

79.99...don't see the reason to get SHOND3

 

Can you give step by step on the ground loop isolator? I have no idea how to go about this?

 

Is it necessary to put a GLI for the DVD player ?
So GLI goes BETWEEN the player audio output and the AUX adaptor input , right ?

 

It goes inline between the SNDHOND3 and the Ipod in the middle.

Red goes to red, white to white.

 

Thanks, that was simple.
