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

The fixed 1 MHz output frequency could potentially be a problem with some sets, since it isn't a "real" station frequency. (All real station frequencies in the MW and LW bands are multiples of 9 kHz. Interestingly, made-up radio stations in films and TV often use non-multiples; I am not sure whether this is deliberate, and if so to what end, or just simple ignorance on the part of the writers.)

There were some digitally-tuned, but still MW/LW only, radios fitted to Fords in the 1980s, and these can only be tuned to multiples of nine.
