mvigneau Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 I am unable to order more samples. But I was thinking, that instead, other people would order like 20 samples of each of the 6 SKUs needed and then send them to me and I can create cables for people and do the same thing I did with the samples I had. If people are interested, post on the board as well as order the samples. If you need the SKU Numbers, I can post those.

MaStaMooN Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 id be willing to do that.. But I wonder how quickly the supplier would catch on to a whole mess of people ordering a bunch of the same sample connectors Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigneau Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 I doubt they would since we are all ordering them from different parts of the country as well as different countries. Plus we are all ordering like 20 or so and that really isn't a lot for the minimum order quantity of 3000. No Silent CD Aux-In Solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvigneau Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 For those that are ordering samples, I just want you to know that the maximum number of samples that you can order seems to be 10. Right now, MaStaMooN has placed a order and will update me on the status as he receives them. No Silent CD Aux-In Solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerpawGT Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi all, I just checked the status of my connector order. It been approved and has an estimated ship date of April 8th. When I ordered them I only thought to get 6 units. I'll forward the spares I have left after modifying my FM modulator cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vidmaster Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Wondering if you still need others to order samples? I just ordered my FM mod and am very anxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigneau Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 If you could order them, that would be great as I haven't received any from anybody. I am sure they are awaiting shipment, but the more I have for samples, the more I can make for people on the forum. I think that the max number of samples you can order is: 10.

stokes_05ob Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Alright...I'm pretty sure I want onto this list, but have a few questions. For those of you going this route, what is the preferred FM Modulator of choice? What are the inputs available to the modulators? RCA? I searched a bit, but didn't find. I check in all these forums now and then for the possibility of easily replacing or tapping into my stock console. Thanks for your time...sorry if I could have found this myself looking further. Oh...and if after the above questions I'm into the list, I'm happy to play the sample game as well if it is working as an alternative supply chain.

mvigneau Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 It seems that I am not going to even get close the number needed, so I have been asking people that want them to order samples. This way, others can get the cables needed and not have to wait for 130 people to sign up. As to preferred FM Modulator, I have wondered myself and have been trying to find a better one but haven't had any luck. Usually the inputs are RCAs.

crash Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I've heard good things about the AudioVox one. From what I understand, it actually blocks the FM signal from the antenna when the AUX in is on so you don't get any unwanted FM signals....

mvigneau Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 Yeah...but I don't like the switch part. I wish it was autosensing. Plus most FM Modulators have PLL built-in for this. No Silent CD Aux-In Solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helfrick Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I have this one: http://www.jvcservice.com/store/ProductDetail.asp?part=KS-IF200 It does the autosensing and works pretty well. There is an RCA input and you can select different frequencies. It steps on the treble a little bit, and the output is low even with the input sensitivity set at max. I got it from crutchfield for ~$30 several months ago. The antenna adapter from mvingeau has been working flawlessly (sorry I'm still gushing, I'm still really happy I didn't have to hack the wires myself.)

stokes_05ob Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 okay...please add me to the list. I'll see about getting samples per the earlier part of this thread. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaStaMooN Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 My parts have been on order for a few weeks now.. the status changed from "forwarded" to "approved" recently.. so im guessing shipped is next. so mvingeau will have a handfull of connectors soon enough.

vidmaster Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I ordered samples yesterday, and got a call today saying that only 1 of the 6 parts were in stock and the rest would be a 6 to 8 week wait. So, I'll forward them whenever they come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigneau Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 Wow...I guess that means that they are in high demand. Maybe they should get the picture and allow people to buy less of them or maybe Metraonline bought all of the parts they had? I ordered that JVC unit and it will hopefully work better than the unit I have now. There is way too much noise coming from it since it uses a common ground for power and audio. I don't even have to connect Ground to get the unit to power up; I only have to connect 12V+. It grabs ground from Antenna's ground or from RCAs ground. Bad design engineering wise and it's probably why there is so much noise. No Silent CD Aux-In Solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosca Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Using the FM modulator from the Roadie2 isn't as bad as other modulators I've had. I might stick with it over going to a wired FM solution. All I'd need is the extra millimeter or so inside the cubby, and route the wires under and through other stuff, and I'd be done. edit: Fm transmitter. It trims the highs and the stereo separation quite a bit, but it's listenable until something better, like the JL solution, comes along. Tom FRA-GEE-LAY... It must be Italian!

tigerpawGT Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Mvigneau, Just received shipping information on my Hirose parts. They are scheduled to arrive at the nearby distributor today. Apparently they are required to hand deliver the parts to me, so hopefully they'll contact me ASAP. I'll PM you when I know how many spares I can send. This past weekend I discovered our Honda Odyssey also requires the Hirose terminals to allow me to complete an FM mod install in that vehicle. If I don't goof up that should leave me with 4 spare sets. Wish me luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
