Pretty big Dash Project..

[bobmundo123]

So.. let say to examples sake... I have a ipod shuffle...

How would I wire it in a way .. so that I can hook up power to the device.. and audio through the speakers... and also have another aux input.. but also how would i be able to adjust things like treble and base.. considering i would be unable to do that on the devices...? so like an external knob...?

ANy type of tutorial would be nice... or supply list..

Re: Pretty big Dash Project..

Well I know the basics.. But I kinda wanna make a custom dash.. where i want to have it directly hooked up to that device and also have an aux port as well.. was just wondering what exactly would i need for the metra.. and also need to hook up the audio... like a shopping list... and where exactly all the wires would be... etc...

I mean i have a big plan.. that includes a tablet of some sort... And I'm making it into a custom dash... with an external controller .. basically i want a power source.. the ability to have to aus inputs.. and a treble and base controller.. along with oem sounds.. any ideas...

Re: Pretty big Dash Project..

you want to put a tablet in your dash? that requires alot of work. fiberglass knowledge and a fair bit of money. I've seen ipads and other tablets put into dashes but they require expensive audio processors to output the signal.

perhaps like this?

Re: Pretty big Dash Project..

Yea.. Sorta.. ANd I have Fiberglass knowledge.. I was gonna use more or less either that or just a flat piece of plexi glass... and build on top of that using fiberglass putty...

Actually I think I've got it figured out..

I'm going to use an old Single din, and hide it in the Trunk and have the tablet as an AUX input , So at leat i can manage the treble and bass when Necessary. I just hope I can find a long enough cable to reach fom the trunk to the center console.

ANyone know where i Can get long Cable?
