Help - How to built a Music player adaptor to Headset
Hello
I was surfing the net an saw an GENERAL AVIATION MUSIC PLAYER ADAPTER, and thought that it would be great to have one for those long strait in flights.
This adapter would allow to input a music device (iPod, MP3 player, CD player, Garmin with XM radio, etc.) directly in to the headset.
Does anyone know or have one, and tell me how to build one?
I would like to know the connections. My idea was to use the cable from a head set mp3, cut the head-set peace, and then weld the line it to my US Nato Socket U-92A U. The US Nato Socket U-92A U has 4 pins, what i would like to know is were to weld each cable from the mp3 cable on the 4 pin socket.
Thanks to all

Pretty straight forward. From the pointy end towards the cable:
Contact 2: Earphones, Positive
Contact 4: Earphones, Ground
You might need an amplifier in between.
If you google around for U-174 or U-94 wiring, -plug, or -jack you'll probably find some stuff. If you have a DC headset they already come with a complete wiring diagram in the box; that might help, too.

Hi,
why all the hassele to solder things and may be build in problems into your communicationssystem?
Just buy a set of inear headphones - like Apple - iPod - In-Ear Headphones
and put your head set or helmet on above.
Adjust the volume of the music in that way, that you still here radiocalls and you will have better musicquality, less noise to your ear when of and no problems with the boss or so and you can take it to every aircraft you want...

Or, maybe save yourself the trouble of building it, and get this one: BluLink Heli Bluetooth Music & Cell Phone Aviation Headset Adapter - Marv Golden Pilot Supplies

whoofi,
Pardon me for assuming that you were looking for something that would work plug-and-play....
As for the cost..... This cost less than the annual fee to the CAA for a type-renewal.... and it has bluetooth
Good luck with the building then

Tony, that cable goes the wrong way...that's to RECORD audio from the ICS, not inject audio into it.
Here's the one you want:
Buy Pilot USA PA-80H Music Player Adapter for Helicopter (Single Plug) Headsets at SkyGeek.com
No soldering, and won't eat up an extra jack in the aircraft.
