FM modulator Hookup
FM modulator Hookup I am currently hooking up a FM modulator to the stock Monsoon headunit. I am planning on using it to run the RCA cables down to a mini adapter and into my Pocket PC. I need to run a hot and a ground. The two adapters in the back of the unit (CD Changer and standard headunit adapter) have many colored wires.
Which wire is the switched hot and which wire is a ground?
Any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks guys.

Why an FM Modulator instead of a GM9-AUX?

The AUX input requires that you do not have a stock CD changer (correct me if I am wrong). I need to have acess to the CD changer as well as the aux input. Thanks for the help, and please clarify if I am on the wrong path.

I'm not sure.
The GM9-AUX does have a pass-through to allow the retention of the CD-Changer, but since I dont have a CD-Changer, I cant confirm that that feature works.
Pressing the CD/Play button on the Monsoon headunit should swap between the in-headunit CD, CD-Changer, and AUX device. This is how others have described it, but you need a 2001+ headunit.
If you are interested, I bought mine at www.myradiostore.com.

The X3GM9 might work for you too:

It is kinda like the GM9-AUX, but with a built-in switch box to add (and swap between) 3 RCA AUX devices. It requires the CD-Changer to be connected to work though.
Also, I have no experience with it and know no more about it than listing on the description on that site.

I will look this weekend when I have access to the car. So the AUX has the ability to switch between the CD and the RCA inputs as well? Thanks again for your help.

On the Firebird, its the "CD/Play" button.
I dont have the factory CD-Changer though, so I cant confirm that part.
For me, pressing "CD/Play" swaps between the CD Player in th headunit and my XM receiver.

There are some more differences over the years too.
