Im off to India in 3 weeks . My lid has an autocom headset , the female end dangling out the back .

I'll be buying an Enfield Bullet over there, but want some music on the go.

is there such a thing as a lead that connect to the female end but has a 2.5mm standard auto jack plug on the other. just thought I could plug into my MP3 save messing with another set of headphone .

cheers,

H6
 
5 or 7 pin female autocom outlet from the headset?

There is a way around it.....I had mine modified years and years ago so rather than the audio input being an autocom plug, it was a female 2.5 mm stereo jack. All I do is use a halfords 2.5mm stereo male to the same at the other end 9the sort of lead you use to plug an MP3 player into an Aux socket) and Robert's your father's brother :thumb2

It's a 7 pin - Good to know there is a possible solution - Where did you get it modified ?

I think it was done when I had my Ultimate ear moulded plugs made.....PM Andy (judge) and he'll be able to tell you if they still do it :thumb2
 
One suggestion would be to buy a small.light, PP3-battery-powered Autocom unit such as an Easy-7-Advance or Easy Plus (both mono to both ears) or Active Plus (stereo) and to plug the MP3 into that. I picked up a Fleabay unit for £20. Avoid Active-7-Smart (12V only) and Logic (different speakers). Watch out for folks selling cheap, but incompatible 5-pin units

The other cheap and cheerful solution would be to buy an EarFuze kit http://www.earfuze.com/about.html or something similar. Then either leave the headset speakers in or take them out.

Hope this helps,

John
 
One thing to note a standard headphone jack is 3.5mm the 2.5mm jack is/was used on some mini mp3 players but not many.
