Sweet find man what was you wanting for the arb?

 

800 obo. it's new, just old.

saw this on pirate, thought it looks half-way decent. i might have to try something like that

 

Ian, that's NICE! Slim, out of the way of "OOPS, I'm pegged up on my bumper....anyone got a come'along?" hehehe.

Of course, the trailer hitch is usually lower than that to keep the trailer somewhat level, lol.

 

so this project took entirely too long. like, 3 years ... i started the planning back in '09, and just now put it together



top right: 80gb zune. better than the apple equivalent
top center: zune transmitter, with a few... modifications
bottom right: mod #1- new power adapter. the old one died
left: mod #2- aux out. no place to do this other than crack the transmitter open

so i hope to get it all hooked up soon so i can listen to my 5-hour playlist

 

That'll be nice on those days chillin in the Camper

 

Do you have a tattoo on your shoulder

 

um... what?

nope. are you thinking of this? i'm not that hard-core. is it too much to ask for a friggin' aux port on a zune transmitter? jeez

 

yup this guy



just had to razz ya bit..

 

haha, it's all good.

 

My niece stopped by and asked, "what's that guy got on his arm? I've seen that"... I said, "It's a Zune Logo"..... She says, "OOHHHHH, .... wow, is he kinda crazy? Anyway, yeah, my friend has one and makes fun of my Ipod..... He says, 'All I wanna do is zune'a zune zune zune and a boom boom' ", ..... I finished with a, "Shake-Shake ya rump!", ....to which I got a look of, "eh?" ..... hahahaha. She's 12, ...just thought I'd share that...sorry, lol.

 

ha, thanks mark. i think microsoft could have made a bit of profit off of zune if they actually advertised. but no... it's much better to just hope the product does well

anyway, i'm done ranting. i just wish there were more accessories for the zune, instead of having to make my own

 

Maybe a stupid question here but why do you need the transmitter? Couldn't you plug in a charger and then use a regular aux. cable in the headphone jack?

 

here, i'll try and make the comparisons of charge cable + aux line from headphone jack with separate aux line from transmitter

note: while the transmitter still works fine, i won't be using it. just the audio out from the zune itself

charge cable + aux..|modified transmitter
-2 cords to plug in |-1 cord to plug in
-volume dependent on|-volume preset, one
zune volume setting |output level, cleaner sound
-looks really tacky |-looks clean

 

Nice. Just curious.

 

it's something i get asked a lot, and ipawd users have a plethora of options available to them. so i thought, i want some options, too! that's my semi-temporary solution. best part is, i already had all the parts

 

"Aint got it? Build it!" lol.

 

Hey Ian, sweet find with the elocker! I wish I could have retrofit an elocker in mine when I regeared, I was just in a time crunch (and money crunch for that matter) with the road trip across the country and everything, so I had to go with an autolocker.

Anyway, let me know when you are planning on installing that bad boy and I might be able to come give you a hand. I don't have any experience with the actual retrofit part, but I did drop and replace my rear differential by myself and it definitely would have been nice to have another pair of hands.
