TrickLidz Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Would the standard headphone jack cord work to hook the IPhone to an old Autocom system? I know the older cell phones used the special cord with a smaller end. I will also pair via BT to the Zumo. Related question: what has everyone been using for a mount to hold the IPhone to the outside of the bike?? TIA, Steve Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I custom built a cord to hard wire my 4S to the Autocom. It sounded like I was in a tin can. I don't recommend it. No mount. Just slip it in the map pocket and use siri to control it. Link to comment
flars Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Because they expect you to use it as an MP3 player, it is a standard 3.5 (1/8 inch) jack, not the 2.5 that many phones use. I believe it is mono, not stereo. Link to comment

I believe it is mono, not stereo. I have the details. I built it correctly. Sound quality is not there. I haven't looked into it further, but I suspect there's more to the headphone/mic circuit than meets the eye. Link to comment
John Bentall Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 What Autocom system do you have? How have you linked the Autocom to the Zumo (which sockets on the Autocom are you using)? Link to comment
flars Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Boney - I was talking to the OP - he asked a specific question about the size of the plug. I have no concerns about your ability to stick a proper sized plug in a hole. Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Copy that. Posting with the phone so I can't see everything I'm used to. Link to comment
bobbybob Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 FYI, Autocom has a "special" cable to connect an Iphone, part # 2194, "Apple Iphone stereo phone lead". It is a 3.5mm 4 pole plug on each end. It also works with the Droid, which I am using. Link to comment
Autocom Matt Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Depends on what you mean by older. Current Autocom and one generation before use 4-pole TRRS 3.5mm interface plugs. The pinout from tip to shield is left, right, mic, ground. The iPhone is left, right, ground, mic. Older Autocom product with a 3-pole interface is mic, speaker, ground. Older 4-pole will have +9v as a second ring (i.e. mic, spk, +9v, end), but that is not what you will be using. If you reply with the exact model of Autocom I can confirm which lead type you need. Current production has a iPhone cable, which incidentally works with all modern smart phones. If you need one for an older system, either I or another full-service Autocom dealer can make one for you. Would the standard headphone jack cord work to hook the IPhone to an old Autocom system?
