terryk2003 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 just wondering if there is a way i could hook my laptop up to my alpine HU so i can play MP3's off my computer in my car!?...seems like someone on here has done it before (cryptnix i think)...

DiscoStudd Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 http://www.installer.com If your HU is CD changer compatible, then they sell an auxillary input adapter to tie into the CD changer input. You can do the same thing with most mid 90's+ GM stock HU's as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Yep, you can. Pick up the Aux. cable(like Disco said, it will convert from CD Changer to Red/White Aux. Inputs). You can then pick up a RCA to Mini Headphone cable to plug into the speaker/headphone output of your Laptop, and your on your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 again, yeah. my hu has an aux rca on the back and i just extended it and used an rca to phono adapter and voila! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 ok, this has my attention! I have a pioneer premier with cd changer option. I didnt see the adapter mentioned but I guess I wasn't looking in the right spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it for awhile, until I put a stock HU back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted November 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 thanks for the input guys!!...i figured there had to be some way to do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdcutty Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I did it until I gave my cable to my fiance for her computer and stereo cause her computer speaker sucked for watching movies. I still want to build a place for my laptop in the cutty and get another cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Somewhat similar, according to this stuff here, I would be able to run my ipod thru my Pioneer in the car with these: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=5294996&productCategoryId=pcmcat45000050001&type=product&id=1115366647513 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=4888866&productCategoryId=pcmcat33100050027&type=product&id=1051806268853 ?

Pabz Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 That second link is exactly what i need, the one I have is cheap so it picks up alot of noise when pluged in to the aux. Can you hear my fuzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I know a guy who built his own mp3 player for his car lol....basically he made this thing a long long time ago. It is pretty much a computer case, he made his own OS to run the thing...he has a numerical keypad in his center console....best part is his ethernet jack is above the gas cap (pretty safe hey??) lol... Anyway, he was running an inverter to power this thing....you could put a ton of songs depending on what size of hard drive you install lol.....if anyone wants the link that ask here.....personally I think you'd like the laptop better, but this thing was just sorta cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockTherapy Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 i'm doing that to my GP because i want to keep the stock HU and keep my ipod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
