Default Tell me, how did you hook your Windows Mobile to the audio system and what we need to do this!

I have a very similar HTC phone from AT&T here in States called a "Tilt", would love to integrate it into my audio system....

Default I had an audio tech tap into the loom going into the amp via the cd feed

ex head unit and I toggle between the cd/audio in feed using an after market relay and switch on the line.
Cost was zip as he has an A4 that needed a good vag-ing.
Fantastic mod as I had several inputs fitted for audio [as well as video feeds to my rear screen for the kids to watch movies or plug in the play station.
They can use the car audio or headphones so I can still listen to music from the phone/cd/radio/or pc.

Default You need to start with this.

I have a similar one, mine doesn't have that big plastic case on the USB part. The button can start/end conversations. When you have this, you just follow Paul's procedure to tap into the radio.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Adapter-Earphone-Mic-Mini-Jack-3-5mm-Mini-USB-Motorola_W0QQitemZ280202718893QQihZ018QQcategoryZ2 0354QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">http://cgi.ebay.com/Adapter-Earphone-Mic-Mini-Jack-3-5mm-Mini-USB-Motorola

it's 3.8 inches by 2.8 inches which is around the same size as the vent opening.

Default Great mod! Have you thought about painting the case black?

The silver stands out quite a bit from the black vents. Flat black would help it blend in more and perhaps reduce some glare as a bonus.

Either way very nice work!

Default Re: Great mod! Have you thought about painting the case black?

actually I was planning on painting it black but didnt get a chance as I had to drop off the car at the body shop this morning. Someone was nice enough to back into me without leaving a note. Once I get it back I will be painting it flat black to match the vents.
