Avionics Cost Question

Hey Jay,
I'm trying to understand what your intercom is currently capable of. I
would guess that all seats can listen to the CD, but if the back passengers
plug into the aux audio input, they hear that but the front still hear the
CD?

So, you'd want to wire an input jack to the intercom between the CD output
and the intercom input some how so front passengers can listen to your iPOD?

Have you talked to PSE? They probably know if this is possible.

I'm just curious, because we do not have any music inputs in our Aztec, I've
been exploring options. We're perfectly happy with our King audio panel and
our no-name Sigtronics imitation intercom works fine, just no music. So I'm
torn between really getting my *ss in gear and going for something like the
PS Eng. 3000 Intercom (which would mean replacing all the jacks and spending
the additional $300 for the PS wiring harness) or buying something like a
couple PS Muse, but they are also $170 each. I definitely want the
auto-mute feature, so having Lightspeed add the $75 cell phone / music input
feature on our 20XL's isn't really an option I like.

What to do... what to do....

Let us know if you talk to PSE about your options.
Thanks
Jim

For you avionics guys out there...what should it cost to have an avionics
shop install an audio input jack in my panel as an add-on to my
panel-mounted stereo intercom?

We have a Narco CP-136 audio panel, and a PS Engineering CD/Intercom.
I'm
assuming the input jack has to "patch in" to the intercom somewhere.
(Frustratingly, a jack already exists for the back-seat passengers only.
It's a nice feature so that they can listen to their own music in back --
but we don't have the same option in the front seats.)

I would like to use this input jack to connect a portable XM radio
receiver
or an Ipod-type device.

Thanks in advance!
