Spider77 I wouldn't give up on the meets. Seems like a busy time of the year for a lot of people. Though if all those people that said they'd be there didn't tell you they couldn't make it, that is pretty crappy

This would be fun to go to, but I have tons of homework due on Saturday by midnight, and a friend is also having a birthday party on Saturday. I'll have to join y'all some other time.

I don't know if I have an amp, I guess I need to pull my center console out to check. It's an option I've considered, but it has a few problems. Namely, I can't adjust the volume, bass, treble, etc from anything except my device. If I use an iPod with line-level audio, for example, I can't adjust its volume. My solution would be to use a 3 position switch to toggle between headunit, mute (N/C), and line-in going to the amp, and a potentiometer that can adjust two signals at once (L and R of course) between the switch and line-in jack (or now that I think about it, a simple two position toggle, with one being the headunit and one being the line-in, and turning off the headunit to mute, would work better). I do kinda hate that I can't really adjust the sound any further though, it's hard to get a good bass sound out of my setup without having the headunit boost it a bit, and especially because my two 8" door speakers aren't putting out any sound (probably have a loose/severed wire somewhere).

I'm just glad to see someone on here that would rather make do with what they already have in tweaking their sound system, than just buying a new one. It's cheaper and funner to DIY.

Hmmmm that's kinda different

Here's mine: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b72/DanA...OF/DSCF3119.jpg

In theory it would work about the same, all CD players would have the same analog audio + mute signals somewhere in them. Disabling the mute is key so that whey your disc is rewinding, etc. you don't get a pause.

But I'd imagine everything is integrated into my headunit pretty tightly, and wouldn't have much of a place to intercept the signals (I don't see why it would need a sub-board).

The signals still have to exist somewhere, and here's where it gets kinda tricky... but I could (intentionally) break the traces for the signals leading from the CD player, and use either side of the break as solder points, to solder to a 3.5mm jack and a switch. That sounds beyond my capabilities though.

I guess I'll have to pull my CD player apart sometime and poke around. I haven't actually done that yet.

I saw this recently, which led me to search and find your post: http://www.instructables.com/id/MP3-player...for-car-stereo/
and then it led me to this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Corolla-20...aux-input-hack/
if this upside-down method works for opening up the audio input, this could be an acceptable substitute.

Dude, thanks for posting this. I was toying with a few ideas as to how to add an Aux In to my factory headunit (I like the stock look, at least for now...), and it seems you've taken care of everything.

Now all I'd have to do is figure out where the appropriate points are on my CD Player headunit (seems like yours is different), and figure out where to mount everything... I was thinking of mounting them inside that under-the-radio compartment, but I'd have to reach all the way in there to mess with them. Maybe I'd mount them on the lid, right underneath the headunit... Well, I guess that's all up to me.

Got the PM about the 26th, I'm not 100% sure if I can make it at this point, but I probably can.

Hope my stock/auto GT doesn't embarrass everyone, lol

Not in the next few weeks, but if anything happens after UTD's fall semester starts in August I'd probably be down.

I got this info from a technician at Toyota of Plano.

1) Make sure the red LED button is sticking out
2) Put the key in the door's keyhole
3) Twist the key to Lock, then to Unlock, then to Lock, then to Unlock
4) Open the door, get in the car
5) Put the key in the ignition, turn the key to the On position
6) Push the red LED button in
7) (not 100% clear on this) The LED button should turn solid red (or you may have to press it a few times until it is solid red?). When it is solid red, the alarm system will be completely bypassed.


Last night at Wal-Mart my Securikey keyfob stopped working properly, and due to the security system only allowing you to unlock the car the same way it was locked, it treated my attempt to unlock the door as a theft attempt. I got a ride home, got this info when I called, and I was driving my car in less than a minute.

Hey y'all, I'm in the Dallas area. I'm a 3rd year CS student at UT Dallas, and I'm here most of the year (only out of town for breaks usually). Is anyone else here at UTD?
.
I posted in the Texas thread, but I'll mention it here too.

Sure is. I've been playing since 2006.

Seems this is a bit of a general Texas thread...
Well anyway I'm in Richardson most of the time, since I go to UT Dallas for college. But I'm in Sugar Land/Houston pretty often, for breaks and random trips.

Looking forward to meeting y'all sometime

Since people inevitably get confused

Is this its own standalone chatroom, or is this a webapp for an IRC channel? If there's an IRC channel, what network is it on?

It's gone! Hope someone here got it




Original post:

This isn't mine, but I spotted this on Dallas' Craigslist.

1994 Toyota Celica - $500 (Irving, Tx)

I think this is a good price for a Celica in this sort of shape, but in any case I figure I may as well share it in case someone would be interested in it.

And btw this is my first post, hello 6gc, this site/forum is a great resource!
