307.How can ve covert the cd player to an mp3 player?
- Thread starter LETGO
- Start date
Have a look at this:
www.dension.com (HDD MP3 player)
According to their native web page (http://www.dension.hu/), using the APGS010 cable, the factory radio of the 307 will drive their MP3 palyer as a CD changer.

PS.: I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but their products look cool.

What should i do covert the cd player into an mp3 player? Should i completely change the default cd player and buy a new one or can i make it by changing and/or modifying a part of it?
Thanks a lot .
I've bought a Clarion DB348 which is a fairly simple fronloading cdplayer which happens to play mp3 cds as well. I'm fairly pleased with the unit although juding the sound quality is still impossible since I haven't replaced the speakers yet.
I paid 159 euro for the player.

Hi guys,
Here's what I did: I kept my default cd-radio (which has 2 good things:
remote control on the steering wheel, and visual info output on the trip computer dash), and near it (in the spare slot, I think it's for the cd-changer) I mounted my kenwood 919 mp3 player. So, I use the default cd-radio for radio broadcasts mostly, and my kenwood for listening to the mp3s only.
You will ask: ok, ok, but how about the speakers? ;-)
The answer is very simple: I mounted a small knob on the dash, which is switching a couple of multi-contact relays (giving them power 12V or not), which in their turn are mechanically switching the wires from the car speakers: either to the cd-radio, or to the mp3 player. Thus, at a given moment in time I can listen to one device (but that's ok!)
This seemed the perfect low cost solution (all relays cost ten bucks or so!), although I had to spend a couple of hours wiring the relays properly (but that's really a very easy thing to do for anyone who knows how to use the soldering iron). Considering that there are 4 speakers (FR, FL, RR, RL), each having 2 wires, you'll need the relays with 4x2=8 groups of contacts (each group has 3 contacts: central goes to the speaker, second - to the cd-radio, and third - to the mp3). I used two 12V relays, but if you can't find similar, you can use 4 ones etc. I isolated the whole thing with adhesive band and put it behind the mp3 player.
A final remark: I really tried the "fancy" logic at first, i.e. there was an idea to connect the car's factory cd-radio to the line-in (AUX-IN) socket to my mp3 player etc, but this idea failed because you need a analog/digital audio converter, because aux-in at kenwood needs a digital feed. Of course such an adapter costs far more than the ten bucks for the relays...
