Pacific Accessory Corp AAI-CHY Chrysler Dual Auxiliary Input Review



Pacific Accessory Corp AAI-CHY Chrysler Dual Auxiliary Input Feature

  • Demagnetizes Crts To Improve Linearity & Correct Color Impurities
  • Interfaces Input Sources From Dvd, Vcp, Mp3, Satellite Radio Or Playstation¿
  • Lower Cost & Higher Quality Sound Than An Fm Modulator

The AAI-CHY will emulate the factory VES by default. 1. If the vehicle has both Satellite and VES, one of the devices will have to be disconnected in order for the AAI-CHY to work. The AAI-CHY will then emulate which ever device that is disconnected. 2. If you are using a single disc radio (REF model), the factory Satellite (if available) must be disconnected. This radio has no option for VES, therefore the AAI-CHY can not emulate it.

The Icon Mobile also serves as a rechargeable, high-performance headphone amplifier with adjustable gain or stand-alone USB DAC with support for Skype, Messenger or similar microphones. Desktop Applications: 1. Connected to a computer via USB, the Icon Mobile can drive a pair of active, i.e., powered, speakers. 2. The external 3.5mm stereo input, when inserted, takes precedence over the USB DAC. This function allows the user to listen to music from sources such as an iPod without having to disconnect the Icon Mobile from the computer. Mobile Applications: 1. Due to cost constrains or power consumption considerations, mobile devices such as an iPod or smart phone do not incorporate high-performance headphone amplifiers. The Icon Mobile's optional iPod connector permits the user to bypass the iPod's volume control. The compact, lightweight Icon Mobile, which can drive a variety of headphones, connects to these devices via 3.5mm stereo input.
