Audio wiring

[EddyG]

I was just thrown into the 21st century on fathers day when my kids got me an MP3 player.

 

Now I want to add a mini jack to my existing stock audio system so I can listen to the MP3 player or even plug a Garmin GPS to it. This would be on a 1st Gen an 86 VR.

 

I have the stock wiring out of the standard maintenance manual, but has anyone spliced into the wiring to add a mini jack? and where did you connect it ? I want to be able to use the intercom and CB while listening to the MP3.

 

I thought I read that someone gutted their cassette player and wired a MP3 player through it, but couldn't find the post as I searched through the post on MP3 players and audio. Did he wire right into the wiring? That's what I am looking to do.

 

I don't want to upgrade the player, I have a FM modulator but too many cords and hate changing the stations when you leave or go into a different area. I think the best option would be to add a mini jack.

Do you still have the stock cassette? If so you can get a cassette adaptor to insert and plug the mp3 into and still have the cb/intercom functions. Those adaptors are readily available pretty much anywhere I think.

I found some of what I was looking for here http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21667 but if anyone has something they did since this post that might work better I would be all eyes. and ears still.

I am also looking for any pin outs for the 5 pin headset connectors, I know someone out there has them. Please
