Hi everyone I am currently adding a 1.2 gig computer to my car with a 12 inch lcd screen With help from stevebang the last thing I need is to connect to my head unit through the cd changer cable to the computer so I can play my cds and stored songs from my computer. My head unit is an eclipse 55060 and I was hopeing that eclipse had a adapter cable already produced to make this easier. I am very new to these types of applications some of my concerns are how the connection is made from the computer to the head I would think the sound card would be the most logical (any sugestions on sound cards), also when I select the computer player to play a tune how does the computer volume levels effect the volume of the system wouldn't the head unit override the computer here or will there be some tinkering involved, again thanks to all that have been helping me in this project any help with my questions would help me get some sleep at night .... lol thanks again ....bin

you have to conect the output audio from your pc to the RF MODULE

Hum... If you find out what each wire is for you can make your own hook up. But that may be a bit on the complacated side pluss it you might no be able to play CD's any more.
