MY04-06 Mcintosh: aux in?

by **tangcla** » Thu May 29, 2008 2:42 pm

Just wondering if there's aux-in available for the MY04-06 Mcintosh headunit... does anyone know? Ric?

That's an ongoing project.
I have a head unit to experiment on, am just looking for the appropriate plugs to go into the back of it to make it easier to test.
I have some info on how the OEM navigation system interfaces to the OEM radio, and want to see if the McIntosh supports the same connection.

There WAS A Clarion unit that worked via the CENET connector, but they went out of production a year or so ago.

If you already have the iPod adaptor then you might be able to use this one:

I think the part # is EE-1155B-A. AUX input box
I tried to source it from a local Clarion dealer or at least get them to approach Clarion to see if they had a spare one around, but had no response. I haven't tried Clarion direct.
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one if you get a source.

Google says that the 1155B does indeed look like the right part number. But the part was released in 1999 - that's a long time for an electronic item to be on the market...

Has anyone tried the FM200 to compare quality?

Me to Tangcla. My understanding is the 1155 is the same as a the 1251 but has RCA inputs?

But won't charge ipod obviously? I guess if you mount he on-off switch for the 1155 in the compartment behind the hand brake, there is a 12v power outlet for an ipod charger......

Maybe heading back towards the 1251 I think depending on how much the 1155 will be Tanglca.
