Is there any way I can make an adapter that plugs into the FM antenna port of my car's head unit and ends in an AUX input for my phone? I'm sick of niggers stealing my head units when I just want a damn AUX port.

Pic related is the antenna port.

Yes, but you'd need to build an FM modulator.
So no.

thats stupid.

why not get one of the cheap 2 dins that have an antitheft cover ( a cover of a headunit that looks old as shit)

you can buy those from ebay.
>>
no.

Antenna picks up RF signals with carrier wave on it. Radio then tunes to the carrier wave frequency, strips the carrier away and you get your radio signal underneath.

If you plug straight audio into the antenna port, it won't work.

Get a removable head unit then take it out of your car maybe? Or one of those stupid FM transmitters for the car work well...

Or you could park your car in a neighbourhood which isn't usually on fire.

They do make kits to achieve what you are looking to do. Pretty cheap too.

You would need a RF modulator. I don't think there is anything for that.

I bet it's simpler to find a random device which streams on a short range FM frequency which your car radio can pick up and which is detachable and cannot be stolen by niggers.

I don't, the niggers come here because they know there's shit to steal.

>>52037479
Single din only.

Fuck. Are the FM broadcasters any good?
>>
>>52037537
They actually work acceptably, considering you're in a car not some sort of audiolab. If you just want to listen to tunes on the way to work and don't care too much about having a 'balanced sound with black background and coloured mids' then you'll be fine.

As long as it's not super staticky I can deal.
>>
You could modify the mounts and put quick disconnects in the wiring and just take your head unit inside every night. (won't stop them from breaking your windows though)
>>
You could leave the stock head unit in the dash but extend the speaker wires to a chinese audio amp unit under one of the seats.
>>
>>52037411

>head units

what is a head unit?
Also what is your problem? Your car doesn't support mp3? Does it support a CD changer? You can have small AND DETACHABLE USB\AUX to CD changer connector, like those made by "Yatour".

>what is a head unit?
What most people call the "stereo" in a car. My stock one is ancient and doesn't even have a cassette deck.
>>
>>52037411
Just open up the radio, cut the traces from the tuners audio output, and add your aux there. Simple.
>>
Just rip out the stereo channel connectors and hook them up to an aux port. Taking in mind ground and other things.
>>
Where would those be? Antenna plugs into the to right corner.

>buy a convertor that does that
or simpler
>buy a [insert medium here] to FM frequency converter which is like $5

From the plug, not the unit. Additionally, you'd probably want to get an adapter cable/plug thing and fray the wires on that so you don't have to fuck with the original manufacturing.

I had this. It's not nice.
