krompir Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I just received the parts needed to make 3 antenna adapters so I could hook up an fm modulator. I should have a chance to make a prototype this weekend. If everything works out, I should have 2 available for sale. I could also order some more parts if the design works and if there is interest from enough people. I'm not sure about the cost yet or the time frame since it took about 2 months for just these samples to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krompir Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I just saw in another post that metra is coming out with their adapter soon. So these parts that I have are probably the only ones I will bother ordering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By then, I had already hacked another solution! CRaig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigneau Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Would you be willing to sell those? I am interested in setting it up and since I wouldn't have to wait 6 weeks if I bought them from you, that would be great.

The thing is, they only sent me one type of connector (the one that would plug into the car harness). You'd still need to find the other connector that plugs into the radio. These are the parts I got (6 of the first two, 12 of the last one): Plug body = GT13SCN-2/1PP-HU Retainer = GT13SC-2/1PP-R Internal connection = GT13-2428/1.6-2.9PCF These are the ones still needed: Plug body = GT13SC-2/1S-HU Retainer = GT13SC-2/1S-R internal connection = GT13-2428/1.6-2.9SCF If you want, try to request some samples at [url]www.needasample.com[/url]. It's pretty much impossible to buy the parts in small quantities (they are sold by the thousands at the OEM level), so samples are the best way to go.

mvigneau Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Is there anyway that I could get 2 of each from you of the ones that you have? I am going to order samples of each one and if I get them in time, I will offer them up for sale if I can figure out how to make them not that I think it will be overly difficult.

c_hunter Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 PM me your address info and I'll send you a set. If you ever get the other parts, maybe we can consider it a trade! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken S Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Oooh! Oooh! I'd be interersted in buying a completed adapter! :) Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigneau Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Well...It all depends on when I receive my samples from Hirose. If I am able to successfully make one for myself, I will put together the others and after reimbursing c_hunter, I will see how many I have left and how much time it takes me to make them and go from there.

dustdr Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 [font=Century Gothic]Can't wait until all the electronic geeks can figure out a no-brainer method! [/font] [font=Century Gothic]Until then, I am not playing my 6,000+ mp3 collection in my '05 OB XT-LTD. CD's sound fine with the 6 CD changer + subwoofer. Since I hate dragging a lot of CD's around, I tried a small lighter plug-in modulator with a built in USB port for memory stick or any other USB device. I'm plugging in my Lexar 1GB Jump Drive and accessing 13-15 full albums on the road. Yeah, loss in quality, but I am old enough to remember my first 8-Track car stereo, so I can handle it until the electronic geeks get this sube glitch resolved. I do like the easy, quick, music of my choice in any vehicle I happen to jump into (including rentals) at any given moment by just plugging this unit into the lighter. [/font] [font=Century Gothic]See it here: [url="http://www.virtualrealitysoundlabs.com/vr3_fmmod.html"]http://www.virtualrealitysoundlabs.com/vr3_fmmod.html[/url][/font] [font=Century Gothic]The Lighter Plug-In Modulator cost [b][u]24 bucks[/u][/b] at Checker Auto and I already had the Jump Drive to plug into the USB port. For that amount, I can put up with the dampened quality until there is a fix that does not take an electronics wizard or a bucket of money to resolve. BTW, you can plug in audio cable into this unit also.[/font] [font=Century Gothic]Keep up all the great research...[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
