Hi All,

I'm new to the list and this is my 1st question. I'm building a Bearhawk and getting ready to start on the panel and electrical connections.



I am planning an Audiovox XM satellite connected to my PS Engineering PM2000 intercom.  The audiovox is designed to transmit to your car's FM radio but it does have an output for headphones.  My question is, if I hook up the headphone output to the intercom, will I need to amplify the signal somehow or will a direct connection work?  If amplification is needed, where can I get it?



Thanks,

Eric, the PS Engineering intercoms have "music input" pins that are  

what you want.  I don't remember the pin numbers off the top of my  

head, but the diagrams are available online.  I ordered my radios  

from John Stark, and he sent them pre-wired, with each wire labeled.  

I soldered the labeled wires to a female headphone jack (a buck or to  

from Radio Shack) that I put in a convenient place, and now I can  

listen to my XM, or ipod, or whatever, in flight.  Very easy to do.

Eric,



Please make sure that you can turn the FM transmitter off!  You don't  

want that FM transmitter broadcasting while you have it in your  

panel.  There are other units out there that have aux. outputs for  

this purpose and where you can turn the FM off.  The unit that I'm  

using is the SkyFi2 and it has all these features.
