So E36 CD43 don't have an input jack

[blackhawkimpact]

^So what did you use for the aux input for the CD43? I was thinking of buying the grom kit but don't want to spend that much.

Ok but how much less could you care? I also have a blank plate but could not care any less than I already do.

For what it's worth, CD43 is a fat waste of fat stacks of cash dollars to get to work with an input, and CDs will still skip anyway so you might as well get a smarter aftermarket deck that is as neutral looking as possible.

It was 3 years ago thread. For that matter I can't stand any of the gimicky aftermarket decks. Nakamichi made a nice quality set up but they are slowly headed away from good stuff in pursuit of the all mighty sales vs quality.

At this point I could care less, one car has one and the other has S14 tunes all the time via a blank plate.

I unplugged it, then threw it in the trash can. What a piece! tech support blows too.

So others might know are you speaking of the CD43 or the Dension or the Dice.

Every damn one of these has always seemed to need to be reset every few months for some reason.

If yours acts up, just unplug it and wait 1 minute, then re-connect.

Im rocking the Dice, Worked well for a month, then the cable took a shit. I assume.. Before that though it worked pretty nicely.

Any options for a 3.5mm headphone-type input?

The Blitzsafe adapter works with my C43. It's hooked up to a Phatbox mp3 player and it has RCAs for an auxiliary input. While in CD changer mode, you just hit the track up and then the track down buttons to get it to switch to AUX input.

I can get the Dennison, but they are damn expensive

[whodwho]

I thought I read those were discontinued, guess not

That's it, but you want the Non-DSP version.

I found mine cheap on e46fanatics because it was missing the cable that goes to the iPod. They pop up there rather often, so keep an eye out over there if you're a member.

This is what I plan on doing...I still haven't gotten around to it. Over Thanksgiving break it's definitely going to happen, though.

Don't think Dice works, grom? Haven't heard of them but I'll look it up. Thanks
