ScottFla Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Does anyone out there have experience added an additional audio devise to the stock radio/cd set-up on the new RT? Help, like to attach the XM via this route if possible. Cheers Link to comment
rickcavanaugh Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I have never done this on an RT radio, as I have never seen one....but the lt stereo has an input (10 pin quick disconnect) next to the main input. 2 of the wires are for the input to the AUX. If you have a picture of the back of the radio I may be able to tell if you have the same type of input. If so I could talk you through it. Problem is the XM will be faint compared to the radio. You must turn the volume way up. I tried it with a mixit amp as well as the Boostaroo amp. They help, but the AUX input is still too low. Changing from radio to XM is not a problem but the other way is. Here is my post on BMWLT.NET on how to do it AUX INPUT INSTRUCTIONS Link to comment
David_S Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 There is a good discussion about it HERE. It appears there is a plug in that will add an AUX port. I priced it here at an Auto BMW dealer and it was in the $70.00 range. I didn't explore it any further. Link to comment
rickcavanaugh Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 From the last post it looks like the inputs for the 1200 is the same as the LT. One plug on the back is for a CD changer, the otherone is for the intercom/aux input. Can you "page through" the various inputs and see and AUX come up??? The plugs I made cost about $15 for 3 plugs. Much better deal than getting ripped off by BMW again. Link to comment
ScottFla Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 thanks to all, appreciate the assist. looks as if an antenna connection for the i-pod with onboard fm transmitter might be the best approach. cheers Link to comment
