2001 Mazda Protoge MP3 input


Once I gutted the box and had just the pcb board left in my hands, it was easy enough to locate the FM module protruding from the main board just behind the antenna plug.
As you can see the module is shielded, which makes it next to impossible to see whats going on behind the board. I say next to impossible because i am weary of de-soldering components just to get a peek back there. When i flipped the board to reveal the connections, it didn’t look much better as there were no clear markings for the different pins of the FM module.
Luckily I could read the markings on the two chips on the FM module and quickly found their data sheets,
Not quite sure what the first chip is for, however the second one seems to have a Demodulation component with a L-Out and R-Out at pins 9 and 10. This sounded very similar to what Jordan has on his radio. So I followed those pins and found out where they connect on the pcb.
(This is the working circuit by Jordan)
So I am happy to say that it works. The volume is a bit low but thats not a big deal other than when i change between the radio and the aux in i have to turn it down first.
The only thing left for me to do now is get some epoxy to secure the jack in the panel because the hot glue i used is complete rubbish.

 

Thank you Deyan for allowing me to share this. I’m sure it can help someone else out there to enjoy their MP3 collection.

If any one has any questions, concerns or praise to give, please leave a comment below.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could
    add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest
    twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d most certainly donate to this excellent blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for book-marking
    and adding your RSS feed to my Google account.
    I look forward to brand new updates and will share this blog with my Facebook group.
    Talk soon!

    Hi there this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know
    if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with
    HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey Everyone,

    Thank you for the great comments! I really appreciate it. I will be starting to add some more content really soon. I just want to get this site fixed up first, because it is a bit of a mess right now.

    @Felicitas If you are using WordPress like myself, you can use “Wp to Twitter” add-on to send Twitter updates with links to your new posts.

    @Chris You can use a WYSIWYG editor if you have a hosted site to create your own pages and to edit pages from your blog (layout, style). Are you looking at any particular blog hosts? I myself use WordPress, but host my own. You can create a free account that would give you a yourblog.wordpress.com type site, and I believe it is like $15 a year to have your own domain so you could have yourblog.com instead.

    @Staffing Services Houston I think I may just do that :)
