Hi All,
I am trying to source components to enable me to fit an audio socket onto my SatNav unit. I would like to fit either a 2.5mm of 3.5mm socket (drill hole in plastic housing and fit on. Like this....[thats not my unit, or hand by the way!!!] ![]() The output of this needs to go into a 4-pole stereo 3.5mm socket on my autocom unit. I am looking for: a) suitable socket to fit to SatNav unit b) suitable lead The socket needs to be switched, so that when a 3.5mm jack is inserted, the sound is cut from the SatNav internal speaker. Any advice, have had a good look on Maplin, ebay, rs but not found quite the right stuff...... Thanks in advance, Chris |

Had seen that socket. That will do the job fine but then I need a way of getting a 2.5mm mono output into a 3.5mm stereo input. Haven't found a 2.5mm mono to 3.5mm stereo lead.
Any ideas......? |

what i did was connect a cable running out of the unit will try and find a pic so could use http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...ocket&doy=18m1
And obviously just cut off the male connector or if you just want the socket http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...ocket&doy=18m1 |
