Yeah, if you set up the whiterice adapter with female ends then grab 2 of these, so one of them will be for the left speakers and one of them will be for the rights


Then grab one of these to plug into the 2 y splitters you plugged into the whiterice adapter. So then you will have aregular male headphone plug as the input. You can now give the amp turn on wire 12v with the ignition on and plug the ipod in, you should have sound.


Now you have 2 choices, the cable is short as hell now so you can either extend it with a male to female extension cable out the bottom of the dash somewhere, or cut the end off the cable and wire it into the factory aux input jack.

ok i have the plug in the secound pic i guess ill make another trip to radioshak and get two of the other plugs

is it ok to put the right front and right rear speaker wires together but while keeping the + and - apart and doing the same with the left

[fg2!kid]

its not working no sound
fuse #35 is good
ok well i got every thing hookd up minus the switch for the amp but i dont see why i need a switch for the amp i check with my DMM and the amp has source voltage with no key in the ignition so its hot at all times whats the deal ?

Uhh... this might sound stupid but why the hell do you want to ditch your factory system to play your ipod? Why don't you just go to radio shack ( or and electronics store) and buy a double male end headphone jack and plug you ipod into the auxiliary port of your sound system (thats what I do and it sounds great). Or you could go the fancy route and get honda's ipod adapter. I think the adapter will even allow you to control the ipod via the steering wheel controls but i'm not sure.

if i am going to use my i pod i know ill never need the radio and ithink it would look cool too and have some carbon fiber where the navi screen would be

[splew]

Oh, okay, if thats what you want to do then that sounds cool, but you might want to think about that a little before you do it. You never know when you might want to listen to a cd. Also you might want the radio for listening to traffic reports or if you want to get a satellite radio. If you have alredy thought all that through then it sounds like a cool idea but if not you might regret it.

hmm well i tryed to make better connections but still no sound can some one shed some light on this switch for the stock amp i need to make

Awesome, good work!

Found another picture on my computer of the wires for the aux in jack. I don't have anything labeled but here is a picture of the wires you need.


The yellow and the green are the left and right, but I don't know what order. If you really want to figure it out you can but I don't really think it'll mater since you won't have balance or anything.

The brown wire is the ground wire, it's not hooked up yet in the picture but you can see the bare wire where I stripped back the insulation and the wire next to it waiting to be connected.

I used rca jacks to connect it to the aux in on my z2, but you can just cut the end off of the cable you are using to connect it to your ipod.

Don't worry,you just blew a fuse. I think it's going to be one under the hood, don't remember which one but it's for the accessories. If you still had your stock radio in then you'd noice it didn't work either.

Well I just bought this deck

Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. - iDA-X200

Its Ipod only no cd's unless you add a changer, Hooked up my sirius too it and my Ipod what more could you need lol. Lotsa options and SQ is great.

Might be something to look at if ya wanna go just Ipod.
