you could always do something crazy like this: http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/pub/...ks.html?page=2

now THAT would be awesome.
And not that hard either.

 

wow. i'll keep my center console...haha

but, interesting.

 

Two Words: DIRECT CONNECT

 

I just installed my Ipod with the Rockford Fosgate 3sixty signal processor. Its an OEM integrator that you convert high level inputs into a clean low level signal using stockstock Head units. There is a Aux RCA input. The Ipod sounds great! The only issue is that the Ipod does not charge.

I plan to hook up my satelite radio to it as well.



Good luck

 

If there is an Advance Auto Parts store by where you live you should be able to go in their and get something like an iTrip, but it is only about 30 dollars. Plus you just hae to plug it into your cigarette lighter and find an fm station that isnt used by a radio station. So if you dont want it in all the time you can put it in your glovebox. And it will work with ANY mp3 player, it has two cords depending on what kind of mp3 player you have.

$130 for my MP3 capable deck with a AUX input...another $16 for a cable to hook up my iPod straight in.....and works great and goes everywhere with me......4000+ songs...Ill never run out of music....and some 16 movies just in case

 

I know pepboys has one for 50-60 $$$$. I installed mine, it took about 20 minutes just have to take out the radio unplug the satellite radio plug on my 05 and feed the wire through the center console and i was good, works great. Just runs as the aux of the stereo. I know they make them for about any car. I have sampled quite a few fm transmitter and they all suck in my opinion.

 

yeah i agree, fm transmitters DO suck..

but I was thinking of making my own, like this: http://electronics-diy.com/tx300.php

 

JVC-HDR1 with the JVC iPod adapter FTW!!! Works beautifully!! Gives you HD-FM, charges the iPod, controls the iPod and displays on the HU. Also it's a digital connection. On my ex's car, I installed it so the iPod goes in the pocket below the HU and kept the door for secrecy.

 

get an aftermarket headunit with ipod ready!
