Direct Connection – The Only Way for Many to Receive Satellite Radio Programming

Up until now, you may have been a little disappointed; only reading the information on cassette adaptors and FM modulators as possible ways of playing a Satellite radio in your vehicle. You may have wondered how Satellite radio could deliver pure digital bliss to your ears. This page should show you how that is possible!

Cassette adaptors and FM modulators are mainly intended for plug-and-play receivers. However, it is possible to connect these types of receivers, and others, using a direct connection to your vehicle’s stereo. This solely depends on whether your vehicle’s stereo system is capable or not.

As far as sound quality is concerned, a direct, or hardwired connection, is by far the best option to receive Satellite radio programming in your vehicle at close to cd quality.

A direct connection simply means using special cables, or hardwired adaptors, to connect your Satellite radio equipment (whatever device types they may be) to your vehicle’s stereo system.

A direct connection can be made only if the stereo has an auxiliary or AUX audio input. Normally found on the back of the vehicle’s stereo, the AUX input uses standard RCA or 3.5mm mini-jack audio cables for connecting additional audio devices. However, some stereos provide an AUX input on the front panel, making it convenient for playing portable audio devices such as iPods, CD, Minidisc and MP3 players.

If your stereo does not have an AUX input, all is not lost: many vehicle audio systems have a data port designed usually for an optional CD changer. Although not compatible for Satellite radios, this connection can also be used, even if the data port itself is already being utilised. For aftermarket and OEM factory fitted audio systems, a wide range of multi-purpose converters and interface cables are available, allowing Satellite radios and/or selected compatible audio devices to be connected to the vehicle’s current audio system.

The majority of Satellite radios require an RCA Y-adaptor cable (stereo RCA plugs to 3.5mm mini-jack) for a direct connection. Therefore, the most common use for multi-purpose converters and interface cables, is to simply convert the cd changer data port to an AUX input. However, some converters and interface cables supply power and/or audio to Satellite radio tuners that use a proprietary connection.

The Satellite radio is controlled using the cd changer capabilities on the vehicle’s stereo, or, for plug-and-play receivers, on the receiver itself or remote control.

The only possibility of interference using the direct-connect option, will be from ground loops, these are created when audio units of any kind are not properly grounded during installation and pick up noise from the alternator/charging system or engine. Devices such as ground loop isolators and in-line noise filters can be installed to help eliminate unwanted noises.

If sound quality is of the upmost importance to you, superior quality audio cables can be used to resist any corrosion and ensure a clear signal transfer without any electrical interference, which can distort audio signals.

As most of the installation, if not all of it, is carried out behind the vehicle’s dashboard and using specialist parts, it is recommended that a professional undertake the work.

Linux Counterstrike Source Server

Here are my server specs so you can get an idea of what kind of computer you can run a dedicated server on of course more is better so just keep in mind that there are factors that come into play when hosting a dedicated server yourself. Like internet up/down speed, processor speed, ram, hard drive space.

AMD Athlon 1.2ghz

512mb PC-133 RAM

Linksys 10/100 NIC card

60gb Western Digital Hard Drive

Ubuntu Server 9.04

First things first login as root (if not already).

su

Next navigate to “/usr/local/games” and make a directory named hlds. This directory will hold all of the files for your dedicated server. Once steam is installed you will have a “hl2″ folder and also a “cstrike” folder. We will only deal with the cstrike folder for this how to.

cd /usr/local/games

mkdir hlds

cd hlds

Now you will need to download the hldsupdatetool.bin from steam. This is the main install file for steam.

storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin

After the bin file has been downloaded we need to make it executable so we can install steam. To make the.bin file executable

chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin

Then execute the bin file by issuing the following command:

./hldsupdatetool.bin

Agree to the disclaimer

type yes

It will now extract a readme.txt and steam file into the directory. Execute the steam file so it can update it will take a few minutes. (You might have to do it twice)

./steam

Now we have to tell it what game we want to run. For this how to we will choose “Counter-Strike Source”.

./steam -command update -game “Counter-Strike Source” -dir.

You now have a default Counter Strike Source dedicated server.

cd cstrike

/maps/ – is where all of the maps and waypoints are stored

/mapcycle.txt – is the list of maps it runs

So now that we have a base install lets make it a little more fun and automated.
First if you do not already have it installed, install the package “screen”.

apt-get update

apt-get install screen

Screen will help you to run your dedicated server while you are configuring and testing the settings. We will come back to using screen in a moment. For now just install it.
Next we need to configure our server.cfg file. I have made a generic server.cfg file for you to download that has bots etc. You can download it here. Copy this file to your server and place it in the “/usr/local/games/hlds/cstrike/cfg/” folder.
Now we are ready to start the Counter Strike Source server. Type the following to get a server started.

screen

./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

Ctrl-a followed by Ctrl-d (optional this will detach from screen)

Now run your cs client and goto LAN and wait for it to show up in the list. Double click on it to connect. Password=thisismypass (if you are using my server.cfg file)
You now have a vanilla Counter Strike Source server up and running. I would suggest if you are going to open your server up to the public to install either “Mani_Admin_Plugin” or “SourceMod” these will allow you to administer your server from the game and set many more options and fun things for your server.
