to the car audio guys...
is there something that I can put an audio source into and it'll make it so my radio will pick up the signal through FM? or is there any other way I can use an external source on a stock honda head unit? (the 96-98 on with the external CD player)

Re:to the car audio guys...
If you're wanting audio input from another source such as DVD, VCR or a game console, You can use what is called an FM modulator.
It can work with your factory radio and is simple to install (Usually behind your radio).
If you need exact instructions, let me know.

Re:to the car audio guys...
what exactly is it for. i know that my friend has a little device that plus into the headphone jack of his discman and sends out an fm signal. he sits the two right on his seat and the readio plays his cd as if it were a radio station..with surprising quality. i think he may have gotten it from radioshack.

Re:to the car audio guys...
That's exactly what an FM modulator is for...Getting another audio source to play on your stereo system.
It is a small box that has an antenna input & output. You put it in-line in the antenna chain before your radio.
It transmits a radio signal into your radio this way.
It also has RCA inputs so you can connect a Discman or whatever. The cord to do this can be purchase at Radio Shack.
You just preset one of your radio buttons to the FM modulator's frequency.
It has a switch to supply power to the unit. Turn it on when you want the external source to play through the stereo. Turn it off when you want regular FM reception.

Re:to the car audio guys...
what do those go for? I need a FM modulator with RCA jacks. Will it still be in stereo if it is through the radio? it doesn't matter, i was just wondering. I have a really cool, top secret idea going, you guys will be way stoked on this.
hey Xplocivic, I might need your help on another part of it, do you have aim or MSN messenger?
