hi gang just a line to say first part of my home made acm works fine and will add picks soon and also the instructions on how to make your own. So far it has cost £26.90 as apposed to £300.00+mmm. If a dumb dumb like me can do it any one can. So watch this space.

 

Nice.
I bought a second hand ACM . And plugged a Sirrius into the RCA jack inputs.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you spliced into the fibre optic cables.

 

Thank flyyer
I do not have to splice the fibre optic cable to do it. As I have a connect 2 with fakra
Connection. This means you just connect to your antenna.As it sends the signal from your SD/USB player or whatever through a 3.5 jack plug. So no need to splice in to the fibre optic cable.
I also got a mp3 decoder from eBay and made my own box with a on off switch so the whole thing can be turned on and off.
Step1 Choose a suitable live to connect2 box and also a earth.
Step2 take the radio out but do not take out the iso plug as there is no need just the fakra.
Step3 connect the fakra out on the connect2 box to radio and the other end to the antenna.
Step4 now connect the rca to the box and there you have it as the other end is your 3.5 male jack and the on off switch comes with it.
