Hi,
Blackberry Pearl 8100
I would like to use the media player in my car. My car stereo has an Aux input and I use it with a removable DVD viewer, it works well. I have bought 2 x 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapters (the 2nd and 4th items here http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?menuno=13259) but neither of them work. Plugging the lead into the device doesn't divert the sound from the speakerphone or handset in the same way plugging in headphones does. If I wiggle the connectors about, it will come and go in one channel (left) of the stereo, but not in any consistent or useful way.
It has been suggested in one other thread ( http://www.blackberryforums.com.au/forums/blackberry-pearl-smartphone-discussion/1242-playing-music-... )that there could be an issue with the Aux input itself and the signal from the device is not high enough to drive the Aux but that isn't consistent with the sound levels that I get out of it when I wiggle the connectors.
I have checked the vehicle manufacturer manual for the audio unit and I can't find the impedance of the Aux imput or specification of it, but its a Sony 6CD audio unit.
Can anyone shed any light on my problem? I have tried X Player over my handsfree Parrot, but the music sounds like a phonecall (unsurprisingly :-)
Help, please..
Gareth
