won't it be easier just to get a MP3 player and use a cassette adapter to connect to the existing H.U.?

Less frustration and customization that will not work perfectly whatever you do because of the nature of the devices used in extra-ordinary service.

^^^ +1.
mejo hassle yan.. makakabili ka na nga ng MP3 cd player ng 2k lang (philips i think)..

pero kung gusto mo lang i-try para walang gastos, this might help:

done that before..wala naman masyadong skip..

you need a cd drive with audio controls in front...ung may play, next, stop at volume...ganito gamit ko dati sa kuliglig ko, pero one month lang, tinanggal ko na...

ipon ka na lang ng pambili ng cd indash...2k+ may mabibili ka ng cd indash...maganda pang tingnan...

I saw this set up from my friend here abroad you will need to have voltage regulator for 5VDC and the other is 12VDC. The only CDROM to be or those with headphone out with volume control in the front, then use casete tape adapter for Car CD Adapter. Actually di naman tumatalon kahit me lubak

pansin ko rin na 'di tumatalon ang CD-ROM kahit na may lubak kasi yung nababasa niya, nilalagay niya muna sa isang cache memory bago lumabas sa output at du'n nangyayari ang error correction,

about the set-up, the same 12-volt supply will be connected in series with a resistor to the 5V terminal of the CD-ROM para magkaro'n siya ng 5V tapos yun na yon, kabit na lang yung RGGL output sa likod ng CD-ROM sa CD Player connector ng HU ganu'n kasi dati HU ng owner jeep ko noon eh hehe...

ok 'yan. you need to attach an IC voltage regulator (#7805) to reduce the voltage from 12v to 5v. as for the output you may use the jack on the front or use the analog output at the back to connect to an amp or HU (with tape adaptor).
