Evening all.

I found a bit of a bargain on eBay I think.

I bought a lead which was advertised as converting the 9 Pin socket into an aux input on the HU850.

I bought it as it was only 25 quid and it seems to be a chap who is making them from home and looked like a proper home brew solution as i didn't want to spend 100 quid+ on a Grom and worst case, it didn't work and I've lost 25 quid.

It came last week and i fitted it Sunday, and it works perfectly, no hissing, crackling or distortion at all, in fact it sounds better than CDs do in the inbuilt 6 disc changer unit.

It took literally 2 minutes to fit, I bought a Bluetooth to Aux adapter from ebay for 3 quid and hard wired it to the switched 12v supply so I don't need to charge it, so now I have Bluetooth and/or Aux input for less than 30 quid.

I'm not affiliated with the guy and haven't posted a link incase it breaks rules but it's easy enough to find on Ebay and a brilliant solution in my eyes!
