If you wanna help figure this out without a module that'd be awesome! Who knows, maybe we could figure it out so you could sell yours to the unsuspecting people of the world ;-)

 

dont want to sell mine.

think you missed my point!

willing to help.

Would appreciate all the help I could get on this project! Hoping to help the other cheap-mod loving RX8 owners of the world...And I would love to actually get beers some day.

 

if you are a EE and have the tools let me know.

beers

 

I'm not electrical engineer, I'm an IT person, so that's why I'm trying to find someone to help me on this one who is an EE. :'(

 

send me a pm if you find something.

beers

 

I will!

 

yo guys i want this help to my cd player skipps like no other. i got the stupid itrip that sucks in the cities

 

Well, I'm still trying to figure out how to wire this.

 

the install was very easy, the syflex plugged into the port where the tape mecha would have been if so equipped. didnt even have to take the radio apart to do it!
this board was needed on this unit because there wasnt a tape deck there to begin with, so the board was need to 'trick' the processor into thinking a tape mech was there and activate the audio in's.
if your unit is already tape deck equipped and you are willing to sacrifice it, then you can 'jack into' the existing tape mecha audio ports by severing the existing audio lines and soldering an extension cable at those points . run it to a remote mount 3.5mm aux in accessible somewhere in the vehicle. to activate the new port, just insert a dummy tape.

Hoping to start working on this soon, also want to get a "Stealth box" made for that little cut out in the trunk of the RX8 also, I think that would look pretty shnazzy.
