I've recently became aware of such a device. Does anybody on the Org have one or have any recommendations? I want to play my IPOD in my car but I don't have a port for Ipod connection. What would you recommend?

Can u get an audio line added 2 your current system?

r you talking about adding a wire harness from the trunk and running it up to the cabin? I seen on youtube where if you have xm radio....you can plug some type of male plug wire and plug into xm radio transmitter in trunk and run from trunk into cabin. I thought about that. But I was trying to go cheap and least invasive route.

Cheap? See above.

If you have a cassette deck, the absolute best thing in the world is this: [img:$uid]http://cdn.coolest-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/ideck.jpg[/img:$uid] Costs about $40 on amazon. 100x better than fm transmitter or the wired cassette adapter. I was about to replace my factory radio Which is actually a high end Boston system. The sound is incredible. Cd-quality

That's kind of ironic.....a tape adapter for an IPOD. Do they make if for 8track too...LOL. thanks for the info.

U loose some sound quality but it is also very convienent. I would buy one if out of other options. Nest bet would be to get a different head-unit that has a port for external audio input. Head units are cheap enuff these days....at least some of them. Of u have a tape deck, they have adaptors for those to. Not being sarcastic, just factual.

thanks!

So have you ever hard wired your car for IPOD. I thought about doing it. Can't be that expensive?

damn, i thought most folks by now had an mp3

connector. i cannot stand radio.

My truck has a Harmon Ipod system, my SUV has a USB/SD card and Audio jack.

My other cars they would not touch with trying 2 add any mods at all.

I've tried them but the signal always bleeds. Especially if you're in a big city. It's hard for me to get a frequency that doesn't get overrun by an FM station.

We hooked one of those male/female switches to the Aux/Satellite radio port in our '03 Suburban and it works perfectly. It will cost $100 or so for parts and installation but it works like a charm.

Best $100 I ever spent on that truck.

I don't know if the technology's improved since I had one, but - like Rodeo - I found the radio signal caused static (at best) and crossover (at worst).

Yeah, if you have a cassette deck, use a cassette adapter.

I have a wired one that's just fine.

The wired one plugs in through the head phone jack and the sound is not nearly as good as the dock But to each his own

I don't doubt you.

I had an ipod input installed on my car, which had a cassette deck. The cassette was broken, so I couldn't use the adaptor.

I could have gotten a whole new [cheap] stereo for less than the input, but my stereo is factory, and I don't have to worry about someone wanting to steal a factory cassette player.

I tried the FM transmitter for a while, but it really burned the ipod battery and did not sound that great.
