Put one of these together last night, and it works awesome! Sound quality and volume is so much better than using just the 3.5mm hookup.
Have another question for you.
If installing an RCA jack in another of my old radios, is it necessary to use shielded cable?
After doing a few with the 3.5mm shielded cable, I almost prefer the Rica jacks just because they are more durable.
Have adaptors that make it easy to go either way.
Is it recommended to use a toggle switch to switch from radio to iPhone?
Thanks, murf
