Comments on: How to hack an AUX input into a Delco tape deck for $10 http://notesfrommosquitohill.com/2009/02/how-to-hack-an-aux-input-into-a-delco-tape-deck-for-10.html random musings from the life of a firefighter, paramedic, train buff, family man Wed, 09 May 2012 01:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Wayfastwhitey69 http://notesfrommosquitohill.com/2009/02/how-to-hack-an-aux-input-into-a-delco-tape-deck-for-10.html/comment-page-1#comment-512 Wayfastwhitey69 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 22:49:00 +0000 http://notesfrommosquitohill.com/?p=34#comment-512 just an update for me... still working flawlessly. we take advantage of the jack and use it while streaming netflix from my phone on the long 9 hour trips from memphis to chicago and back. other than my acdc tape from the 80's needing to flip every 45 minutes it works perfectly.  one hangup i have found is that the charger when the phone is close to dead makes an annoying hissing interference noise. any idea on how to isolate it? thanks alot for making this write up.  just an update for me… still working flawlessly. we take advantage of the jack and use it while streaming netflix from my phone on the long 9 hour trips from memphis to chicago and back. other than my acdc tape from the 80′s needing to flip every 45 minutes it works perfectly.  one hangup i have found is that the charger when the phone is close to dead makes an annoying hissing interference noise. any idea on how to isolate it? thanks alot for making this write up.

I didn't take the time to find the proper spot. If you locate it, please LMK and I'll be happy to add the information. As I said, that could be done with a relay located in the proper spot.

I don't know which are left vs right. It doesn't really matter. HTH.
