Hmmmm. Just read this on Wired Magazine’s website:
Wire Your Car Stereo for an iPod
Driving with your headphones on is dangerous, and those FM adapters blow. Good thing it’s easy to install an auxiliary jack that you can plug directly into your MP3 player.
1. Rip it out
Most dash panels attach with screws or clips, so if you can’t find screws, try pulling carefully or prying at the sides with a flathead screwdriver. Wrap the tip with tape to avoid scratches.2. Find aux input
Most aftermarket stereos have RCA jacks — those red and white female connectors — at the back for hooking up extra audio sources. Some factory-installed ones have ’em for a CD changer or satellite radio input. For some models you might need a special adapter, but it’s gettable (Internet!).3. Install a cable
Ask the guys at RadioShack for a Y cable. This will connect those RCA jacks to your iPod’s 3.5-mm stereo jack.4. Find your spot
Plug the cable into the RCA jacks and snake the plug to a convenient location — like inside the glove box or popping up from center console. (Be sure to leave some slack.) Don’t drill any holes if you ever want to sell the car.5. Put it back
Replace the dash panel. Be careful not to crimp the new wires.
Anyone willing to help me make this happen? (ie, my friend Eric?) :)
Hurray for us!
At 2:45AM Sunday morning, Christian Music Pioneer, Larry Norman went home to be with his Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ!
Before he died, he was able to dictate this message to his friends and fans:
I feel like a prize in a box of cracker jacks with God’s hand reaching down to pick me up. I have been under medical care for months. My wounds are getting bigger. I have trouble breathing. I am ready to fly home.
My brother Charles is right, I won’t be here much longer. I can’t do anything about it. My heart is too weak. I want to say goodbye to everyone. In the past you have generously supported me with prayer and finance and we will probably still need financial help.
My plan is to be buried in a simple pine box with some flowers inside. But still it will be costly because of funeral arrangement, transportation to the gravesite, entombment, coordination, legal papers etc. However money is not really what I need, I want to say I love you.
I’d like to push back the darkness with my bravest effort. There will be a funeral posted here on the website, in case some of you want to attend. We are not sure of the date when I will die. Goodbye, farewell, we will meet again.
Goodbye, farewell, we’ll meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky.
I pray that you will stay with God
Goodbye, my friends, goodbye.Larry
