caglo Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 So I got a tape adapter for my iPod, plugged up only to find that I'm only getting sound from the left side speakers through the tape deck. Radio/CD is fine. Think it needs a cleaner, or is it an internal wiring issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlousy Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 sounds like problem with your tape deck, I have it wired the exact same way with my MP3 player and I get sound form all speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caglo Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 Yeah, I played a tape to make sure it wasn't the iPod adapter...only the left side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24fps Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I'm pretty sure if ya have some general elec. knowlege. Got a buddy who did it w/ his RX7 a few years back. Very nice Hack. I know some cutting & soldering was involved to add input. But unfortunately I don't know how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
