Aux input wired off cd changer help
Discussion
Asked this in my readers cars section but here seems more appropriate.
Back story - bought a 1995 bmw 730i for £200, refuse to spend any decent amount of money changing the radio + fascia with fitting kit or buying a propper kit to add an aux in.
Looking into fitting aux inputs for this as it should cost like £10 most if diy, I have a 6 cd changer in the boot (not attached to the car, just dangling from its wires)It powered up and ejected the cassette when asked though so figure it works. Where abouts is best to splice into the plug or into this changers wiring for adding an aux input with a blank noise cd in the changer. Assumed at the input into the rear of the radio, but not sure on dificulty removing it from a e38, and then knowing which wires.
Shopping list so far seems to be a female aux jack with 3 wires attached, some small gauge wire to solder into the plugs of the cd changer and find a old blank cd to put silent track onto.
