Hey guys,
I got a new mini bbx in... but the thing is, it has no line in ports :l
Just a 'Phones' port, and L/R EXT Mic ports (External Microphone??).
I wanna plug my ipod in, so if anybody knows if there is a way to plug it in through those aforementioned ports, let me know :).

Without a dedicated line-in jack, you will be hard pressed to get an iPod to work correctly. You could try using the mic jacks, but I bet the sound will be really distorted as mic jacks have a different attenuation level.

Oh, the mic jack should work fine. Just don't have the ipod volume set real high as it will clip and get ugly. I have my iphone at maybe 15% volume and it's all good. I'm doing just that on my Lloyds right now, rolling with 22s (cm that is). Sure, it might be mono on some boxes and all, but I'd rather have mono and thousands of songs on cue vs just my tape collection and crap broadcast radio.

I just have the mini mic jack to the larger, but that would of course vary by your radio's inputs. Of course you could to rca's or whatever source you want if you have the adapters.
