Ice Question

[mikeohope]

Here is a question for any auto electricians out there.

 

I have a PDA based Sat NAv system but was thinking of changing to a Tom Tom or Garmin unit.

 

Does anybody know if it would be possible to take a feed from the audio out socket on the sat nav and plumb it in to the auto mute cabling on a handsfree car kit so that the voice directions muted the radio and came out from the vehicle speakers?

 

Any tips would be welcome.

 

THanks

What PDA do you have?

 

I know nothing about ICE...but i do know that once on my travels, a car pulled up alongside me and i thought the bloke was talking to himself till i realised he was listening to someone through his speakers!..so it must be possible somehow.

 

Steve67 is the best to answer this one i think.

sorry been very busy so not been on site

the kit is an amped iso to iso that has an intellegent sense to pick up the input and there fore cuts out the head unit and then plays what ever audio you send through it

be it sat nav voice control mp3 player portable dvd the uses are endless

they are

You can use the 3.5mm output from a tomtom and plug it into a stereo with ipod/mp3 player input, but you will have to select ipod/mp3 input on the stereo which will only let you hear the tomtom and not mute the music.
