TV sound to van radio (1 Viewer)

[Findlaters]

Hi
I think this may have been covered before but I can't find the thread. I would like to connect the TV sound output to the van radio input. My 2012 Fiat has a USB input socket, can this still be used for audio input?

Thanks in advance
Les

I don't think so - you want to be looking for MP3 or iPAD connection.

No,. Not to USB.
Needs an external / Aux input..

or buy something like this..

Sends signal (mono) to radio and you tune the radio in to it....

That's a pity. What is the USB socket actually for? I was hoping to hard wire it but if it can't be done then I'll give one of the transmitters a go. Thanks for the links.

the usb socket is there to play mp3 files from a thumb drive, it doesnt generally work as an aux input. if your head unit does have aux in, either front or rear, you can wire the tv output to it. however an fm transmitter/modulator is the quickest and easiest way to do the job. be aware though that unless your headunit has been rewired, using it for extended periods with the engine off will flatten the starter battery. many power themselves down after 15 minutes to avoid this issue

The radio will stay on for 120mins. I think I'll try and find out if there is an input on the back of the unit, if I can get at it.

My TV is an Avtex, but unfortunately the new ones don't have the transmitter built into them:Sad:
