'Audio In' on a 2004 Freelander HSE Stereo

rainady · Sep 9, 2006

Hi Guys,

Does anybody know if there is an Audio In on the Stereo on my 2004 HSE Freelander. Not sure what the make of the stereo is but its the one with the GPS system.

Trying to attach my MP3 phone to the car so I can have lots of additional music. If not, can anybody think of other ways of linking the MP3 player to the stereo

The 'audio tape adapter thing is no good because this stereo doesnt have a tape deck. Progress huh!!

Thanks in advance
Andy

I got a wireless (radiowave) one from Ebay for just a few quid. It uses an unused FM band to play your iPod/MP3 player through. Works ok. certainly better sound than the tape version

Had a look on ebay. Do a search under MP3 Player Accessories. As little as £2.99 but they are comming out of Hong Kong and you have to pay a fiver for postage, and thats assuming it actually turns up (sorry, had a bit of a let down from one ebay seller, but wont go into that).

But of course they are illegal in this country. Turn one of those on and you become a pirate radio station.

But aside from all that, whats the sound quality like? After all, converting to MP3 has reduced the quality, and then sending it out as an FM signal, means you are going to lose some more quality.

Being a bit of a pedant here but they aint strictly illegal over here - you need a licence to sell them - I got mine from Halfords for £99 fitted - ok I know it seems a lot more than the tenner jobbies you can get from ebay but they have the following advantages - they charge the iPod as they go, they are legal, the sound quality is spot on, they are fully integrated so they don't need an external power source and they are an absolute breeze to use - just drop your iPod into the dock and turn on the preselected frequency - dont think I have bothered using my CD Changer since getting mine! I will post a piccie if anybody interested

depends how much you have squashed it to go to MP3 really!!

Its maybe worth a try for a tenner I suppose.

But does nobody have any idea if the stereo fitted has an audio out. Or perhaps an idea what the make and model number is of the stereo that is fitted?

sorry mate no

I mean 'no it hasn't' not 'no I haven't any idea' - or at least the standard one in an 06 model doesn't .

If you are mooching around taking the stereo out you may want to check that the code isn't written on the code in marker pen - apparently common practice at Solihull - my dealer thought it was hilarious - I thought negligent was closer to the mark
