Do i really need a tv? + audio static problem.
I've been trying to upgrade my entertainment options and so I bought a new 24 inch tv , right now I do have a tv but it's a small one with not so good picture , anyways i have a subwoofer behind my passenger seat and it has 2 car stereos hooked to it , one car stereo is in the rear of the van and I noticed that when I plug my phone into the line in connection at the stereo it really improves watching videos and tv.
I mean improves the experience a lot like you don't even need the video screen , I just occasionally glance at the screen and so the little phone screen actually does just fine.
However the line in audio connection occasionally makes a loud staticy noise.
I was thinking about switching to blue tooth to transfer the audio but i hate the idea of having to buy a new head unit.
I'm having second thoughts of installing the new tv because I'll probably have to add a invertor and plus then more power draw from the battery.
I already have a invertor in storage so I wouldn't have to buy one but I really don't like invertors.
Honestly when I bought the tv I didn't even try to see if it would run on 12 volts , i just assumed it would need a invertor since it was a bigger tv.
I'm now thinking that if I improve my audio that i would be satisfied with just some really good sound and the small phone screen .
Any ideas on how I can get my audio from my phone to my car stereo and get rid of that occasional static .
Another reason that i don't want to buy another head unit is that i put alot of time into customizing the one i have , i soldered cat 5 cable to the face plate so now only the face plate is in the rear , the head unit is behind the passenger seat , there's a different head unit in the dash , both stereos share the one sub , only one stereo plays at a time.
Oh yeah , in the last picture , conduit , it's my new love.
