Has anyone heard if this?

I have a old cd player in my car and I want to play my iPod on it but it has no connections and the only aux connections are line outs. But I was told that you can buy a like head phone jack style connector that you could splice into a line on the cd player and play it that way? Does anyone know which wire, or how to do that?

If the deck has an aux. input jack in the face, then you can buy an adapter for your ipod to run through there. If there is a jack in the face itself it is usually a headphone style jack. If not, then I'd guess your only option would be to buy one of those FM modulators and run it through that, if you don't want to get a deck with an aux input

No you can't . They probably mean if you have RCA aux in you could splice a head phone jack with a set of RCA cables, or buy one already made, and play it that way. Unless you just want to tap it into the speaker wires using a head phone jack but that would sound like crap and probably not get that loud because you iPod doesn't have a very big preamp. If you do decide to do this for some reason just cut the head phones off a spare set and strip the wires and connect it to the speaker wires behind your deck, but if you connect it to all 4 sets of speaker wires you will loose the ability to fade and balance the deck because they would have a constant connection to one another because of the head phone jack. And you would have to turn off your deck and control the volume through your iPod. And choice 2 is getting a fm transmitter and then you just put your radio to a certain station, usually like 88.3 or something and you plug it into your iPod. I would suggest choice 3 but as a warning most transmitters don't have very good sound quality unless you get a "higher" end one. That's my input hope it helps first choice is a very bad idea IMO but I just wanted to give you all the options other than obviously getting a newer deck with aux inputs .

Thanks for the input

I got a cable that plugs into the aux. on the deck and plays through the earphone jack of my iPhone, works great.
