Default Re: Wiring 'Aux-in'(iPod)connectors to Car radios

You could unsolder a USB connector from an old computer motherboard and add a 5 volt regulator such as a 7805, to allow charging of USB devices.

Obviously it won't be able to do any more than that, as the old radio won't have the microprocessor needed to read data from a USB mass storage device, decompress the data and convert it to analogue audio.
