iPhone TomTom Car Kit Integration

Hiya Guys,

Just preordered the TomTom iPhone car kit which uses an audio line in jack.

So now i need to work out how to use that with my Rex!

Is it possible via a mod or something to get my car to accept a line in jack as a audio source?!

Thanks guys

Have you got the kit installed? I'm considering this and would love to see how it looks inside an RX-8.

There are multiple solutions out there, but the best one (in my research) seems to be the XCarLink/AudioLink from the RPM store.

see this post for details:https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-interior-audio-electronics-24/your-ipod-mp3-player-integration-solution-here-77790/

Thanks for the link

Unfortunatelu the RPM solution isnt an option as the ipone dock is already takken up by the TomTom Car Kit.

It needs to be an line in connection.... the only one i can find on sale only works in stereo sound though :-(

Here are some Pictures, I haven't hard wired it yet. I also do not have a solution for the music integration.

I don't understand why you can't use the XCarLink iPod integration kit. It also has a AUX jack input, so that'll work with your iphone aux output. Actually there are cheaper solutions from Grom audio and others if you don't want all the functionality offered by XCarLink

I received XCarLink today and I'm going to try to fix it tomorrow.
