NAKAMICHI RCA 3PIN CONNECTOR question

[sa5150 0]

I was hoping someone could help me out trying to figure out where to get this part other then woofersetc . (NAKAMICHI RCA 3PIN CONNECTOR) They charge $50 for a $2.00 plug in . Is this something that nakamichi head units use only? I have never seen the rca from the back of a car head unit like this . I bought my unit cd400 a pretty long time ago and can't figure out why the third one for the AUx was not included in the box or the place i had it installed (which is now out of business) lost it .Now i found woofersetc selling one for 50 , pretty crappy since the rca on the nak units are junk . This units is rated at 4volts , No way does it have that much . I tried a few places like radio shack , they did not even know what i was talking about (No surprise there) . Anyone have any ideas how to get something like this or make one would be awesome .

thanks .

I see. Like Pioneer, they use a removable RCA fixture. I don't think you'll be able to find one cheaper if you can even find one. Check www.installer.com, or email Nakamichi, or something.

Nakamichi does not even exist anymore in the USA and there web sight is out ,they are almost for sure out of busniess for car ausio if not everything . the people at woorfersetc.com are a bunch of that sell defected merchandise. Stay away from there Nakamichi products thet will not stand behind them . the support team from woofers are very rude. and nak Singapore looks like there gone too . So lets charge a premium for discontinued merchendise and nothing to back it up if it goes wrong and who cares about old custermers , Make them pay 3 times as much for cheap cables . lowest form of car audio sales on the internet . They sold me a defected Nak and in return want me to purchase the same unit again . F -%$#$***&^ jerks . poorest shop ever.

How about posting where you found it so others can too if they ever have this issue.

That isn't a very good pic of the plug, but it does look very similar to a 3 pin fan connector plug for a pc fan.

It couldn't hurt to compare the two, if it does match you could make your own cable.

EDIT > My bad I scrolled down farther on the link, It's not the same plug.

Hi , I was lucky and found the original in a plastic bag stored away for years . I guess the shop never installed it . Sorry to have put down woofers etc (Where i bought my cd400 from ) , but my bad experience with them in a email was i asked for a lower price on the Nak Cd500 (which they claim has all the problems the cd400 fixed and plays mp3 without a aux ) is Nak is not in business in America anymore and i don't think in car audio at all . They said there thriving and prices would go up jan 1 2012 . They also when on to tell me just buy another new cd400 . Thats rude !!! I told them i had many issues with the cd400 skipping ,cd's getting stuck ,pre-outs not 4volts as they claim and they ask me to spend another $300 , I would have liked the cd500 at a discount for the bad head unit . The best they can do on the cd500 was go down $10 bucks . really for old discontinued products from a manufacturer that has no warranty and basically does not exist , There web sight is gone also . .. Anyway glad i did not have to give them woofers etc another $50 for the cable .

You can get it direct from woofers etc and they sell the same on ebay and amazon . there the only place on the entire Internet that has these . I guess they think they can charge a fortune cause of this .

Does anyone know if you can use the Aux to use from a android device ,Ipod shuffle or is it just mp3 players ?

got the shuffle to work and my wifes samsung android phone . the sound is so low , on the shuffle it's terrible . So i bought a booster for the aux at radio shack improved a little but not even close to getting any real bass . most mp3 under 192kbp sound bad.
