How would this be achieved? Not the greatest audio expert but can do some basic stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alpine KCE-237B (which will allow you to now have the Auxilary Input via a Male 3.5mm plug) You can get these on eBay2. A line Level Converter (Which will need to be tapped into the left and right speaker outputs of the ICC and end up giving you 2 x Female RCA cables) - DNA make a pretty good one. Have a look on eBay for those as well.3. Then a good old Male RCA to female 3.5mm adapter) guess where?? eBay lolIf you struggle to find them, PM me and I'll send you links.If you need help on how to hook it all up, just let me know as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALIAS-XR6T Donating Members 17 Member For: 13y 10m 1d Posted 21/08/12 11:08 PM Share Posted 21/08/12 11:08 PM Score! Yeah there a few on eBay and they are far more cheaper than sold here in Aus.Yeah I could probably do a step by step thing. Just need to probably find out what wires are speaker outputs again (as the last time I done this, I just done the old installers trick to find the speaker wires)Let me know how you go.

ALIAS-XR6T Donating Members 17 Member For: 13y 10m 1d Posted 22/08/12 05:56 AM Share Posted 22/08/12 05:56 AM Yep that's the best way to do it.See the wires for the speakers can either be found behind the ICC (in the main loom) or in the kick panels of either side of the car. All depends on what type of install your doing, will depend on which is easiest to tap into.Yeah there should be a diagram somewhere on here showing which wires are what etc.I just bought myself a new ute, so I can't wait to expose what I'm doing in mine this time.
