"Dummy player" revisited

Okay.. this topic has been discussed slightly before...
How about a "cover" to fill the empty empeg-bay when the
player has to stay at home. OK. Fair enough.

2) What about a "cover" that connects power to the tuner and
amp (through a switch) , sends an init-string and "joins" the
tuner-line-out to the car's speaker wires? (Maybe a "dumb" volume control as well)

The connector may be expensive, but I guess the rest would be cheap?

This would be useful, so that I can have music in the car even
when I plan to park downtown overnight and don't want to carry around the player.

Anybody for a project?

It'd be about $699 US, if you are referring to the tuner module for the empeg.

It doesn't output an analog signal, it sends the FM multiplex to the empeg, where the empeg's DSP takes it and makes it the commercial ridden over corrected fm-boosted signal we call radio.

Without the Empeg, the tuner module is useless.... besides, how would you change the station?

If you are talking about a second head unit, then Sony makes a switch that will swap your outputs.

Hehe. I could live with having only one preset station to listen to. For instance the last one accessed.

Chips that would de-mux the FM (low quality, that is) probably costs 10$. But may need some amplifying etc etc etc as well...

But what does it do to AM? There can be no Demux of AM?
