Hey guys,
My old Fisher Boombox upgrade project is progressing. So far I've replaced the speakers and added amplifiers in each of the existing speaker boxes. The thing rocks like never before. Next up is adding support for my iphone... So currently I just plug my iphone into the aux inputs through a 3.5 mm male to RCA Male X 2 adapter. That works great except for the fact my phone runs down eventually. So, I ordered a panel mount usb connector to install thinking I could use it and a VR (to convert 24V to 5V) to plug my phone into the back of the old Fisher for recharging.
THEN...I got to thinking (dangerous) SEEMS like I could wire the usb connector to the AUX in circuit inside the box to send audio directly in via the usb cable rather than having the usb cable supply power and and my existing cable to hook to the aux jacks.
Does that sound feasible?
Are there pins in the usb cable that supply an analog audio signal from a digital source or is it some sort of digital signal which I'm not going to be able to use?
Finally, is the idea of patching into the RCA AUX connectors for the stereo between the jacks and the main board a bad one?
