It's like a community service where people can help other people. Google Answers is probably a great service as well, but there aren't that many questions asked on the service compared to Yahoo's service. I assume that it is because most people have questions that they want answered but they are not willing to pay for those answers. Others are probably willing to pay, but aren't comfortable giving out credit card information over the internet. With Yahoo, both problems are eliminated because the service is free! </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/whats-better-yahoo-answers-or-google-answers#post-711 Sat, 18 Jul 2009 10:25:51 +0000 pinnki 711@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>OK...Yahoo's free, and Google costs...but Google Answers gives great service and high-quality.

This is a variation on a couple of themes from this forum - you basically replace the audio signals from the head unit's CD player (I haven't seen instructions for this, hence my post).</p> <p>You don't need to cut any wires or tracks, and the mod is completely reversible, though the soldering needs a steady hand ! In it's current form you insert any old CD in the player to get it going, but the iPod/MP3 player gets routed to the amplifier, not the CD (who cares if you can't play a CD - you've got them all on your iPod !). I have an idea for a dual-purpose mod, which doesn't need a switch, but haven't tried it yet.</p> <p>Is anyone interested ? If so I can post instructions and pictures on a blog somewhere.</p> <p>Cheers, </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/how-to-use-my-auxiliary-input-jack-in-my-car#post-544 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 08:12:50 +0000 autoride 544@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>You will need an RCA jack; they are very cheap and can be bought almost anywhere.

Like aux for example, if ever you have a laptop with you you can use the aux for its power. </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/does-direct-aux-mean#post-211 Tue, 12 May 2009 15:12:23 +0000 aderyne 211@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>Even I find aux to be more reliable but less cooler than that of blue tooth. But hey, who cares if blue tooth's cooler when you can't use it. I don't know but for some reasons my blue tooth just suddenly lose its signal. </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/whats-better#post-149 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 13:24:09 +0000 cheribyl 149@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>Bluetooth for me! I had the same encounter actually. Still bluetooth is more cooler than AUX so... Blue tooth for me! </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/does-direct-aux-mean#post-139 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:00:44 +0000 kotosof 139@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>I'm also using blue tooth but you know, I still find aux more reliable. Just want to share it. </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/whats-better#post-132 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 01:56:11 +0000 bobby 132@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>i guess a direct aux is much better than blue tooth in that case.. </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/whats-better#post-130 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:40:04 +0000 siskailee 130@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi there! What do you think would be better, an aux or a blue tooth interface for your car? I've experienced using both. In fact I'm gonna buy a new one. I asked since I find aux to be very reliable. As for blue tooth, i have to say, there are really times when it just disconnects. Very irritating for me. Still, blue tooth seems to be the choice of all... So... Penny for your thoughts? </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/does-direct-aux-mean#post-126 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:46:36 +0000 siskailee 126@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>Yup. That's the purpose of that input(aux). But as for me I don't use it anymore since there's blue tooth now. </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/does-direct-aux-mean#post-119 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 05:26:29 +0000 elaine 119@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>well i think its an aux where you can plug any gadgets that fits in.. </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/does-direct-aux-mean#post-107 Sat, 18 Apr 2009 12:53:34 +0000 nera 107@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>i think you can play anything (mp3or4,cd,ipod and etc..)coz of the aux thing that being installed to your car.. </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/does-direct-aux-mean#post-102 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 14:50:21 +0000 kotosof 102@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>No, it doesn't mean something else that much. Aux is a term for an input used for many devices like those you guys mentioned. </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/does-direct-aux-mean#post-96 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 00:35:22 +0000 pete 96@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>I had a built in aux in my car..and it serve so many purposes as well explained by the admin above.. </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/does-direct-aux-mean#post-77 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:19:02 +0000 melodic13 77@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>It's true, aux can be used in multiple ways. Some vehicles come with an aux input option on the stereo, but some don't. That was the case with me. I had a Mazda 3 that didn't have aux input, and now my new Enclave does which is cool cuz I can connect my Mp3 player to it and jam to whatever music I like. </p> <p>Aux can also be used to connect your laptop to your stereo, let's say you're watching something awesome on your computer while you're in the passenger seat, you can connect it so you can listen to it through your vehicle's speakers. </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/does-direct-aux-mean#post-18 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 16:23:59 +0000 NickMack 18@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>Many vehicles come from the factory with aux inputs. Most of the input socket is an 1/8" (3.5mm) jack, that will allow connection of many different devices, iPod, mp3 players, laptop, etc., to your stereo system. Some vehicles do not come equipped from the factory with aux inputs. for these vehicles you need a direct aux input adapter. this adapter plugs into a port behind the radio to allow audio input. More information on direct aux inputs can be found <a href="http://www.oem-interface.com/?p=4">here</a> </p> http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/topic/does-direct-aux-mean#post-14 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 10:03:07 +0000 Kimmyh51 14@http://www.oem-interface.com/bbpress/ <p>Where you have the little plug that says aux in and you plut in your mp3 or whatever to that and then put the stereo onto aux and out comes your mp3 player</p> <p>or does it mean something else?</p> <p>thanks </p>
