Thanks for the insight. Not quite sure what the significance stacked pots have but it does look like there is two of them kind of. I will try the headphone idea and report back.

Re: AUX input jack for 67-72 AM radio
I just bought a neat device that adds Bluetooth to an aux input. It works great with no loss in sound quality. I leave mine plugged in all the time and never have to touch it. I bought this because I listen to music through my iphone. The phone has a water proof case and it was a pain to plug into the aux jack.
Seems like you guys adding the plug to the stock radio could add one to the back of the radio somewhere. Then you could hide the Bluetooth adapter and your system would be completely wireless. People would be wondering what AM radio station you are listening to with all the cool music and no commercials. Here's a link to the one I bought. Amazon.com: Rockford Fosgate Universal Bluetooth... |

Re: AUX input jack for 67-72 AM radio
My plan is to add Bluetooth. I bought one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/141283435836?redirect=mobile and one of these to power it http://www.ebay.com/itm/UN3F-Car-Cha...item43bdb9b07c
I will be able to tuck all this up under the dash to have an invisible Bluetooth system. I already did the aux mod to an am radio and have the cord coming about of the dash is a bit of a pain so the Bluetooth should clean things up nicely.

Edit: I discovered that when the source is hooked up to the blue wires it is not being amplified, volume stays at same level when power is removed from radio

Re: AUX input jack for 67-72 AM radio
This is absolutely the cheapest/best way to connect any music player or phone to your audio system. The only shortcoming, if there is one, is that you'll hear mono, not stereo.
If your radio isn't working, you can just connect an aftermarket amplifier between your phone and original speaker. You can get a name-brand, highly-rated amp for under $100. If you go the route of an aftermarket amp, you can also wire your original-radio on/off/volume control to manage on/off and volume through the amp. I can add all sorts of features to original radios -- aux input, Bluetooth, USB, FM stereo, more power, pre-amp outputs -- but I realize that it's expensive compared to DIY options like the one descibed here, and not the best option for everyone.

They vary and I didn't see it mentioned Thanks. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: AUX input jack for 67-72 AM radio
1/4 watt should be fine for this, but you could do a 1/2

Re: AUX input jack for 67-72 AM radio
Seeing as photobucket sucks does anyone have any diagrams or photos of this being done? Thanks.

Re: AUX input jack for 67-72 AM radio
Has anyone had any problem with the "noisy" sound after a while from corrosion of contacts with this mod? I asked my engineer friend if he could help me with this, but he is concerned that is the contacts corrode the sound would get noisy. He said something about it being a very low powered circuit,and that any corrosion might negatively affect the sound quality.
Any thought? Thanks. John
