^ i grew up in medford lakes. what color is your 05? i'll keep an eye out..

Cool. I drive an ABP. Don't be offended if I don't wave first... I gave up waving to 5th gen owners as they look at me cross-eyed :

I plan on clearing my headlights within the next two weeks and have read this thread dozens of times but currently my headlights have a "haze" on the insides of the lens. Is there an easy way to clean/ restore the inside and what exactly should I use to do this?

Since the headlights have been sealed they can't be all that dirty on the inside. A wipe down with a good plastic cleaner should be fine. Just make sure your cleaning rag does not come in contact with the softened silicone sealer as lint contaminants can cause a problem when resealing.

might be fulofkix...he's in that area

 

you're from SJ also eldiablo?

Indeed. I'm in balmy Medford.

Crazy - I was in that lot around 6:15. I live around the corner... Never seen another LGT in these parts. Maybe I'll see you around.

South Jersey spotted a dark grey LGT sedan in the Medford Shoprite parking lot on rte 70. Probably about 7:30PM

mine was a neon pink postcard.

Got the pink postcard today myself. Thought for sure it was going to be some tacky sales pitch... guess not.

I really hate bringing my car to the dealer... ah well.

And I just found an A/B 3.5 mm audio switch!

Nice find hoovman!! That switch is the winner!!!

What'd you do to install the switch?

 

Looks good

Thanks. Used an old RCA switcher that I had lying around. Used heavy duty velcro to attach switcher to underside of masonite board. It's on there solid. Drilled 2 holes to allow access to switch stalks. Fashioned the push buttons from chrome buttons I found in my shop and fixed them to the stalks. Works great.

Below is a pic of the switcher I used.... I looked high and low for a new switcher to use but there were not many simple / cheap solutions out there short of making something myself - lucky I came across this little doo-dad.

I did find at radio shack a 2 way audio switch box designed to allow push button switching between sources for your home PC like MP3, CD, etc. That'll work too and it should be easy enough to hack it to get a more custom look.

Now my jazzy / iPod / XM / switcher is really finished!

iPod nano and Roday XT sources are switched to jazzy board via RCA A/B switch located in the center console. Fashioned a cover to hide the switcher and chargers out of masonite. Covered with suede and ghettoed chrome buttons on to the hacked switcher stalks for push button switching from ipod to XM. Sure beats having to disconnect / reconnect mini plugs. Still have my phone charger hanging out to charge phone in cup holder bin.

Nano and Roady mounted on Kuda base.

Sounds great thanks to Jazzy!!!!

In the process of making something myself when time allows...

You can use a simple switch (look at switchcraft.com for double pole with common ground) or just simply mix the 2 signals together using a 600 ohm resister “Turn on and off each device to select audio, kind of crude” (FSR has a little board, I think its called a J3 and solder some 1/8” female plugs on it OR check these for ideas

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-MZ6xOIsINUf/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=81600&I=469MPSS4 may need some thought into how you want it to switch, since its looking for a 12volt trigger.

OR feast your eyes on msmith's set up

I wanted to know if anybody else is having a volume problem after installing an XM receiver with Jazzy's aux-in mod. I am using an Audiovox Xpress and

when I plug the 3.5mm jack into the the output of the Xpress, the volume of an audio CD would decrease noticeably, definately more than 25%. While I won't be playing audio CD's while listening to XM, so long as the Xpress is connected to the aux-in mod, I'm going to have to crank the volume up.

There is mention of this somewhere in the previous 32 pages. I think the example stated was an iPod sucking volume from a sat radio device when plugged in simultaneously. Only plug in what you will be listening to at any given time. Or find a switcher that can do it for you automatically or with a button push.
