Streaming audio from Q to an external stereo

[pistacio]

I wanted to play around with something new for my Q, so I decided to take a shot at using it as an audio source thru my vehicle's stereo.

I purchased:

1) an OEM Motorola (p/n SKN 6183) adapter for the 2.5mm to 3.5mm headphone jack---ebay $5.62 shipped!! http://search.ebay.com/search/search...&fsop=1&fsoo=1
(I believe Radio Shack has their own branded adapter for $10)

2) a Belkin 3.5mm to RCA cable http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProdu...duct_Id=148894 ---$4.86 at Wal-mart

*3) auxillary input adapter for my Pioneer car stereo (connects to IP-BUS back side of stereo)---ebay $10 shipped
*This item is not needed if your car or home stereo already has RCA inputs.


Now I can connect my Q to my car stereo and voila!! I am now streaming cd quality audio from Shoutcast.com thru PIE and TCPMP to my stereo for just over $20 in parts!! Not to mention being able to play any music on my storage card or from my PC using Orb.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I'm just excited about my experience and wanted to share...
