help with stock amplifier plus ipad

[jaykay]

Which model amplifier are you working with? Were you able to discard the head unit altogether?

I would like to do this as well but have 2000 car with the DSP unit with six speakers. I believe it is linked to the amp such that the amp won't work without it present. I belive I need another amp to work with the iPad.

Which amp are you using? What is the nature of your set-up?

It is an android tablet 7", I chose that over the ipad even that I had the ipad because the autosleeper app that turns the tablet to standby when ignition is off and because the expandable memory card since I have over 20 gigs of music and my ipad is only 16 gig and because android tablets are cheap as hell.

The amp is the nokia 4x40 stock in my car it is for 4 speakers, the two way on the dash and the two bubs in the doors.

I got rid of the cdr220 unit completely since I dont' listen to radio and much less cd's but android tablets are capable of tuning radio via internet, mine does not.

I dont see a reason why you would not be able to ditch the head unit and cd changer and wire straight to your amp.

Okay, I am just going by what I have read here. It seems that dynamic sound processing (DSP) equipped cars have amps that are linked to the DSP box in the dash such that the amp is useless without it connected.

I hope that there will be a way to properly test this before cutting. Perhaps if the iPad output runs through the CDR to amp without the DSP box plugged in then I am good to go. I will have to get one of those special iPod cables to test this.

Alternatively, I would have to source a Nokia amp (or after market with six channels) that does not run with the DSP...but I will loose the speakers in the back storage box as it is only four channels.

What model number amp do you have? I am wondering if the harnesses or plugs are different for 4 vs 6 channel cars such that they are interchangeable
