I have set out to get a worldspace installed in my Swift ZXI.
Hardware:
1. Worldspace receiver (
https://www.worldspace.in/Shop.asp)
2. JAST vehicle antenna for world space receiver (
Jast | WorldSpace Vehicular Antenna)
3 Integrating with OE Stereo
Option – 1 : Wireless FM transmitter (
Wireless FM Transmitter For Mp3 Players /Ipods /Mp4 - Buy 1 Get 1 Free gifts in india at rediff shopping)
Option – 2 : Find a suitable method to connect AUX OUT cable from Worldspace to AUX IN socket in Integrated Stereo system in SWIFT ZXI
Method & location in car for Installation:
In swift there is this location in dashboard where there is a digital clock located.
1. I will be buying this plastic part (The clock console) of the dashboard which would cost about Rs. 500.
2.Try integrating worldspace display into this plastic part.
3. Power/Antenna/Aux cable to be integrated to their respective locations.
Concerns
As of now I see Two issues ,
1. How do I connect the AUX cable from Worldspace to the integrated audio system without the cable being visible outside? (this is if
the option of not using FM transmitter)
2. Theft of the antenna, not that anybody can do anything with just the external antenna as the additional hardware which comes
along with the antenna will be placed under the dashboard.
Power Source
Since worldspace receiver/antenna needs only 9-12V this can be connected to one of the cars power source.
External Antenna
Cable will be pulled from the base of the existing external radio antenna.
Trial Process
1. I have placed order for the JAST worldspace antenna and hope to have it with me by 2nd week of May.
2. Once I have that, I would do a trial run with my existing worldspace receiver (BPL DIVA) this is to see if the indeed the antenna works.
3. If any team member has a current worldspace receiver which in a beyond repair state (note the current worldspace receiver is small in
size)
(https://www.worldspace.in/Shop.asp), I would greatly appreciate if it can be send to me/given to me. The idea is to disassemble and see
how it can be integrated to the clock console.
4. I need big time helping hand how to connect up the wire. I will need a professionals help here, if any member know of an individual who could
help me with the wiring for my SWIFT ZXI it would be of great help.
a. Concealed wiring from antenna to the world space receiver
b. Wiring from the power source for the worldspace receiver
c. Concealed Wiring for AUX OUT of worldspace receiver to the AUX IN of integrated audio system
Alternative
I am aware that I can also do this all by myself, the steps are detailed below;
JAST Worldspace External antenna wire can be pulled beneath the existing radio antenna
Worldspace receiver can be put in the boot/rear parcel shelf
1.Power source is available in the boot of SWIFT ZXI (BUY power adapter)
2. Use FM Transmitter to broadcast the signal from worldspace receiver
3. Tune the integrated FM stereo to capture the FM transmitter signal.
Will appreicate constructive ideas
