Two Things: Window and Audio

[t4peworm]

I have two questions to see if anyone can help me out. A while back I remember reading that the auxmods were sold out, and someone provided a link to this website (i want to say it had a red looking layout to it) that was an alternative/ different solution to the audio in. It did pretty much the same thing as the auxmod.

Second question, my driver side window stop going up and down, but the motor still works. The plastic pieces (guides for the window broke) does anyone have the part number for these things ? Any idea how much they cost?

Thanks

( the car is a 2003 MP5)

A little more expensive than the auxmod, but the fact that it charges through the dock cable makes it well worth it. It's made for an ipod, but i believe it has a 3.5mm aux in as well.

I;'ve the gromaudio unit for the Ipod and love it. Works perfectly and having the sound quality is second to none.

^^ Do you guys have pics of how it looks like in the P5? (Like where you hid cables etc.)

Junkyard for the window tracks. Not a common fault for the car so it should be a good solution.

I used double sided tape and put the box where the tape player would go inside the Headunit, then ran the cables down the back of the console and out where the heater/ac ducts come out on the driver side.

the ipod sits right under the e-brake. all excess cable tucks in between carpet and plastic. Sorry no pics, hope that helps.

I don't have pics either but I sticky taped and ziptied my GromAudio device baox to a brace behind the radio then ran the cable to the glove box. I used a screw on cable guide (the kind for coax cable) on the glove box to hold the cable in place. I have about two feet of cable in the glove box and when I use the ipod I just pull the cable out and shut the glove box while the ipod hangs out in the cup holder. Works well, I can completely hide it when not in use. I can try to get some pics up soon

FYI a aftermarket player with aux in will sound 1000000000000000000000 times better than the stock unit. Plus its all plug and play when you get a factory wiring harness.


Here is a JVC refurb for $75 shipped.
