more than you ever wanted to know about radio wiring This weekend was busy, as usual. We spent all day Saturday researching and running around to different electronics stores trying to find a way to hook my iPod to my factory stereo. We had almost come to the conclusion that we'd need to add RCA jacks, but that didn't work out. We ended up at Circuit City, where we determined that we could hook up a wired modulator (as opposed to a wireless FM modulator) and a couple adapters. The former interrupts the signal completely and is controlled by a switch. The latter relies on a blank frequency, which does not exist during the week. He didn't have time to hook it up on Sunday because we spent all day cleaning the vehicles inside and out (and the house, dog, laundry...). I got really frustrated at Best Buy when the guy said the RCA jack thing wouldn't work at all because I have the base stereo which is not even XM/auxiliary wired. He said I'd have to replace my stereo, and I said, "Well isn't that convenient" and walked off. Jeff doesn't like to be told something can't be done. Luckily the guy at Circuit City was a lot more knowledgeable and helpful. It got up to 78 degrees in my office today. Someone's jacking around with the heating and cooling system again. And then I got two calls around 4:45 and 5:00 this afternoon. Sheesh, I didn't think any batch stuff was running that early in the day. Add this to the alternately splitting and dull aching headache I've had all day... 2005: (x)=yes ( )=no (*)=only in my dreams ( ) stayed single WORK/SCHOOL ( ) got a promotion OTHER ( ) painted a picture Reading: various magazines - currently Veg News and Fitness Listening to: The Metro - Berlin |
