ok, i drive a 2007 volvo s40 and i am wanting to add an auxilary input for my ipod/mp3 device. with my year make and model of car i CAN NOT buy any aftermarket deck or any universal ipod adapters that i've been able to find.

although i did come across this-

above is a how to solder an aux input onto the audio relays of the factory amplifier. my car is infact 2 years newer and the factory amp is integrated in the dash with the cd drive etc etc.... instead of doing what is listed in the above link to any factory amplifier, i'm interested in performing this procedure-(or finding someone to do it for me) on a nice "higher end" 4 channel amp...

a link to a video of the finished product in germany -




once i get my 4 channel amp, whichever one i end up getting. i will be interested in finding the circuit diagram for said amp and figure out a way to solder an aux input on the input relays...

IF ANYONE HAS EXPERIENCE WITH ANYTHING LIKE THIS OR VALUBLE INFORMATION OR ADVICE. SPIL YOUR BRAINS ALL OVER THIS THREAD...

NOW DISCUSS!
