Thread: Installing CD player, installing phone kit and GPS cable

Hi,

I've just picked up a shiny new Disco S Td5 auto and would like to install my MP3 player (a harddisk-based player like a stacker).

BTW these hard disk MP3 players work well off-road and it never really missed a beat in the Defender. I originally bought it from mstation.com.au (no affiliation) you can see it at http://www.mstation.com.au/ms/products/def...ault.asp?ID=310. It is based on a removable hard disk caddy that you can slot in your PC in order to load songs. Mine is an older model that does not have USB

It needs to be connected to the auxilliary input of the CD/Radio head unit as it did not work very well via an FM modulator.

Can anyone tell me whether that standard Land Rover in-dash CD player in current Discovery S vehicles has an aux input? (or can the CD stacker input be converted to an aux input?). Possibly there is a cable that will convert the CD stacker input to 2xRCA connections or similar?

I had this in the Defender that I just traded. That install required me to buy a Kenwood CD/MP3 player with an aux-input. I re-installed the original radio/casette in the Defender so that I could retain the Kenwood CD player in case I need it for my MP3 stacker.

I like the radio volume controls on the steering wheel and the land rover CD player is nicely integrated, however if it doesn't have an aux input then I'll need to install the Kenwood in the Discovery.

I also have a phone kit and garmin GPS power cable to install and was wondering where the best place is to tap off power. I'll probably use accessories power for the phone and permanent power for the GPS cable.

Thanks. LRG.

I may be wrong (it happened once 8) ) but I think the Disco unit is the same as in some late model BMW's :?:
