Plugging phone output into GPS jack

[cmar157]

I removed my GPS and was wondering if I could plug my Phone output jack into the now open GPS 3.5 MM jack that connects to the communication module. I was thinking it may work like my GPS and interrupt the radio when it has sound output from either when it plays music or directions from the phone. Has anyone tried this?

Because of the way that input into the radio works. If you used your phone as a GPS. That should work very well for turn by turn directions and other notifications. If you wanted to use use your phone as a music player. That would not work very well. The radio discards one channel of the stereo and outputs only half the stereo out all speakers. Also there will be some minor clipping of audio when going from loud to silent to loud music. In that case it would be better to use the ipod port with the mp3 player cable.
