Thanks
An FM modulator for what purpose?
-------------
Support the12volt.comFor connecting the dvd player to the speakers and for a volume control.Because the dvd does not have one.
Ah, so this is a stand-alone DVD player and you want to play it through your installed head unit, is this correct? What make/model DVD player and what make/model head unt??

Support the12volt.comNo. I want to replace the existing head unit with a XMS SP230 in car dvd player.It doesnt have a volume control on it.
Is it THIS ONE? If so, you cannot simply replace your in-dash unit with this since it is only a player and does not have an amp or pre-amp. That's why there's no volume control, it is intended to simply be a source deck and it requires a control unit. You need to run this through a head unit or pre-amp. And even if you did buy the FM modulator it would do you no good unless you had a head unit to receive the FM signal. This is an add-on unit to a head unit. THEN you either need the FM modulator to send the signal to the head, OR (the far better solution) you need a head unit with an auxiliary input, either RCA or digital (preferred.)
Whoever is telling you that this player with an FM modulator can replace your head unit is simply wrong.

Support the12volt.comYeah it is that one.Thanks for telling me.
