lxmcf204235y@Stuxnet 2007 VW golf... The original owner had tonnes of extras but didn't opt for fucking Bluetooth...
Going to need to get an after market radio :'-( -
@lxmcf my first car was an '04 but it didn't have aux or Bluetooth. However, it had a cassette player so I bought a cassette to Aux thingy and it worked like a charm.
Now I'm at a '14 and it's got an aux and Bluetooth, so I'm good lol -
@lxmcf open the middle arm console and take a closer look at the walls. Perhaps the aux is placed there. I found one there and I'm not sure if I ordered it as an extra.
-
lxmcf204235y@JackToolsNet nope nothing, already searched the car in out and everything between :-(
-
lxmcf204235y@M1sf3t I am one off those young lads, never used cassettes but I'm super fascinated by that shit
-
lxmcf204235y@M1sf3t no bloody clue haha
I have a personal love for "old" tech, hence why I have an old latch lock key tattoo'd on me -
Jere7185yJust buy one of those radio transmitters wich you can insert into the cigarette port. Then you have BL, AUX and sd-card ;)
-
lxmcf204235y@netikras well I'm a man who listens to Europe, ACDC, wham, disturbed, Killswitch engage... That shit will never get played on radio here...
(Modern day music can suck a dick) -
You probably could find a place where to stick an AUX jack if you really wanted to. Some car forum might even have instructions for it.
-
lxmcf204235y@electrineer I know of a place but it requires I buy a proprietary VW media module and yeah no
-
lxmcf204235y@electrineer oh god, I would be able to do it easy as but at that point it's sort of getting a bit too getto for me
-
@lxmcf there's a thin line between ghetto and high-end custom work. It could even be better than one of those aftermarket radios which focus more on the flashing lights than sound quality
-
JhonDoe28225yOh man, that really sucks, when I got mine it didn't include a radio... For long rides I took a bluetooth speaker and my phone to spotify all the way. Fortunately it was in christmas session so I asked for a bluetooth radio to the company I work for 😅
Ps: for christmas at work they gifts you something you ask in certain price range, in a online retailer -
@JhonDoe Yo that's fucking lit dude. Hella nice company
I had to use a speaker for a week when I had to borrow my parents old car for a few days. It didn't have a cassette player or BT so my cassette to aux was useless.
I burned CDs for the first few days but I got tired of hearing the same songs lmao -
McSebi5015yThere are cheap bluetooth modules on banggood or ebay. If youre into modding and not afraid to damage the interiour of your car a little bit you can easily modify it to support aux or even sd card
-
McSebi5015y@M1sf3t By damage i meant more like cutting a hole in your cockpit to fit stuff in. Implying you do it right and never uninstall the upgrade there won't be visible imperfections.
-
@M1sf3t I'd hire a professional so if they fuck up, they're liable whereas if I fuck up, it's my fault.
Like I need a new speaker in my car bc one is busted. I'm fairly certain I could do it myself with a few hours of research and asking ppl ik that can do it.
But honestly, I'd rather just pay $50 or so to have someone who knows wtf they're doing to do it for me. That way I'm not fucking my car up. -
lxmcf204235ySmall update: spoke to an audio outfitter and they can put in, wire up and give warranty on an android auto dash unit for only $1000 AUD... Piece of piss
So just purchased my first car and it has no bluetooth or AUX connection... RIP
