sajid753 Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Does anyone know if I can get a wired remote for the avox? I know that theres an infrared extension that allows me to control the unit with the remote, but i wanted something wired that I could possibly mount on or around my steering wheel to control the avox. Any thoughts?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 None that I am aware of. Sorry. You don't like the idea of the IR extender? Works great in my truck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sajid753 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 i just think it'd be easier to control while driving as opposed to the infrared remote. Dont have to fumble around looking for it and point it in the right direction etc..But if thats all i have to work with, i can definitely live with it.. I just got the avox delivered today. Cant wait to get home and try it out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sajid753 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 will do. 1 quick question that comes to mind is that once i buy the psp car charger, can i just splice it right into any 12v power source? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Only if the output of the car charger is 12v DC, which I don't think it is. Otherwise you are probably better off just hiding an extra 12v outlet under the dash or seat. You could take the adapter apart and hardwire the supply wires right to the circuit board inside, if you're handy. Just make sure to cover the circuit board with some large head shrink, so's you don't get's no sparks..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually yes, splice the end by the actual cigarette lighter plug to a 12v source. The lil black box in the middle of the wire will step down the voltage to 5V 2A which is exactly what the Avox needs. Or you can do as jimmy suggested, and add an extra cigarette lighter socket behind the dash, and connect it to any 12v source hooked up as an accessory, or to an empty spot on your fuse box in a spot designated as an accessory spot. Jimmy's suggestion is actually easy to do, and you wont f*** up the actual car charger by cutting it. Here is a link to a reputable website that sells an item like we are talking about: http://www.myradiostore.us/power-access ... apter.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Oops. forgot to mention, if you wanted to hook it into an empty fuse box slot, instead of splicing into a hot wire, you would need a small cheap adapter like this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hmm that doesn't look like an explorer's fusebox. More like a neon. Not your car? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
