Not to worry, fitted my home made cable...cost a total of $4.00 and works perfectly!

 

So to those who made a homemade cable, are all of you getting noise from it? I purchased a noise filter and was going to purchase a ground loop isolator. The ground loop isolator's I've seen have RCA connections and was just going to cut them off and solder the wires straight to my cable I have(I have an RCA to 3.5mm cable). I also went and got some of the square female connectors that go on the ends like the OEM cable, 15 cents each at a local electronics shop.

There are some vendors on eBay selling these "homemade" cables and one even has an ipod cable that looks the exact same except it has a fused power wire and additional ground so that you can charge the ipod even. It has an ipod connector on the end of course. When I get mine done with the ground isolator I will take some pics and show y'all what I did.

 

No, no noise. I didn't wire in a cable as such. I didn't like the idea of a fixed cable floating around the car...messy.
I drilled two neat holes where the audio connection is in some models of the Lancer (on the back panel, out of sight near where the cigarette lighter is) and mounted a pair of RCA connectors. These connect to the rear of the radio.
When ever I use my Walkman (yes, Walkman...Ipods suck! ) I use a 3.5mm to rca cable, plug it into the car and off I go. The only time I get 'noise' is if the 3.5mm jack is not inserted properly into Walkman.

 

Im woundering if this cable will allow me to navigate my ipod using my stereo controlls. Or if not does any one know of a cable that will allow me to do that.

 

Sorry, it will not. Its audio only.

 

Getting ready to install the AUX cable in my '07 Black Spyder... curious at to where everyone has placed their iPhone or iPod in their eclipse.. did you dock it on the drivers side or the passenger side? Got any pics? Would love to hear\see what it looks like so I can do the same! thx

 

great pics really informative

 

thanks!

 

great how to

 

Thanks alot, looking forward to this install with the help of this how-to. just to let you guys know I found this part at http://www.mitsuaccessories.com for around 42 bucks and that included shipping.

 

dude im pretty sure this WONT work because the Mitsu. radio cant control an ipods functions, only listen to an aux device, i.e. headphone port.

 

"Step #3: Removing the pigtail wiring lock is probably the most difficult part, and can be a little tricky."

Great how to and easy except for one part. How do I remove the wires? Any tips?

Its my first time doing this and I would really appreciate some advice.

 

^ me too, is there a tool I should get to remove the terminals?

 

^ anyone? I still cant remove it?
