Oh and nice mod

 

[onesickpuppy]

The last mod, I got some alluminum 5/16" round stock from the hardware store, took my brake tubing bender and bent two 90 degree bends to fit the switch panel. Took 6-32 tap and drilled about a half inch deep in the end of the round bar and then tapped the 6-32 threads. I hate small taps and aluminum, go slow and easy!!!! There is not much room for screw heads so 6-32 was as large as I could go. I used a 6-32 flat washer on the top side to add stiffness and larger foot print. Washer actually made it look better to me. I used black primer to paint it. I did not want a super glossy look. I started to polish it but I think it would have looked out of place.

New mod.... Okay, so I wanted to push any and all audio through and into my PCI intercom. So PCI has a input jack for Ipods and MP3 players. So I tapped into my front left and right speeker wires to pull out the audio.


To do this with new radios you need to use a FGA floating ground adaptor due to the speakers have + & - ran to them and not a chassis ground for the speakers. So I opted to go to a spot that the wires are close to each other and the intercom. This for me is at the amp under the console. This is at the 16 pin grey plug. So I jumped into the white and whie/brown and white/violet and white/orange for left and right speakers and for positive and negative. With those connected I took the output of FGA and put a 1/8" stereo plug on the wires.




From here I used a Ipod 1/8" plug extension to run back and up into my console to the intercom. This way I can alway unplug or plug something else into it.


OH, and a thanks to Noah at The car stereo company for looking up the wire colors at the amp!!!



Okay, now some (I can hear you) are asking why in the F... is he doing that? I want to not have to crank the tunes and two way radio up to hear them and both at the same time.... So what the intercom does for most of the input audio is it get muted when talking on the intercom or two way radio chatter. The tunes are still heard in the truck but at a lower volume than what your headset or helmet volume is and is nice and clear to hear.



So far I can: (through intercom, headsets and helmets)
hear tunes from, AM and FM radio, CD, USB music, Sat music, BT streamed Pandora and tune in radio (more I am sure). Volume is controlled at radio and two way, not the intercom volume.
I can hear navigation prompts, and text messages that are read through MFT.
I did test BT phone call and you can hear great and you still use the in truck mic for talking to your caller.
I did play a bit with Android app Car Home Ultra some via BT as well as Skyvi.
Of course the two way uses my PTT and headset mic and or the wired helmets with speakers and mic. I use a street legal head set for street, so with one speaker side it is not stereo I hear at that time, but with the helmet setup with two speakers it is left and right.
All in all I am very pleased with how it all works.
