Do they offer a wireless remote for this set-up? Place a piece of velcro on the back of it and stow it between the seats (or deep under the dash on the center console)...

The problem with wireless is standard is infered which means you must be in line of sight, cannot mount in trunk or glove comparment unless the door is open. They do sell "radio wave" type but they work so so at best and cost $$$$ Usually you will find that with a marine radio.
The radio actually comes with a wireless remote but it is infered. |
I thought about installing a radio. I had an old amp laying around so I mounted it in the trunk and installed to nice set of mb quart speakers on the back wall and 10" sub in the trunk. I run it all with an ipod that has an fm tuner in it. I just didn tlike the idea of having to hide a radio as well

OK - I am thinking about copying this exactly, with slightly different speakers.
I would love to see excatly how you ran the wiring. Will the remote handle the iPod choices or did you run the iPod cable back into the cockpit. It looks like the receiver you picked out locks the iPod controls, but there is another Sony receiver that allows what they call "back-seat operation" which does not lock the iPod controls. I was wondering how you found the remote for use of the iPod. |
You can use the ipod with the radio two ways. First plug into radio using the Ipod cable on the radio. The radio then controls the ipod and you have to use the remote in the car. Second plug the ipod in the stereo at the fron aux jack with mini-stereo cable then you have the ipod in the car. Fuk, I wish I would have run another minicable with my speaker and remote wires then I could have used the ipod in the car. No big deal I can easily run it now.
I found the remote by looking a what radios have the option for a wired remote so it was hit and miss. I think the sure way is to run a wired remote, speaker wires, extra stereo mini cable for an ipod, using the ipod screen is much easier if you have 1000's of songs then shuffling with the remote. I will shoot some pictures and post how I ran the wiring. |
Cobra cowboy,
So your ipod runs through an amp? I though you needed rca cables, i like the idea but not sure how you wired it. |
wired remote may be the best way to go, unless you can get a IR extender to use a wireless remote...
IR is like a gunfight; "accuracy/line-of-sight=line-of-fire". There are IR extenders (IR receiver module on a cord) for home units, --i wonder if they have them for car units...so you could to route to the underside of the dash lets say, clipped to a cigarette lighter mount and poof. IR. Steve |
I would also like the measurements on your speaker box.

Cheap Cobra stereo install....
iPod and some nice in-ear buds. Add a splitter if your passenger wants to listen to the same music. BTW - Illegal in most places, but you probably have about the same chance of getting a ticket for no front licenes plate. :LOL: |
