Ipod Install for the Cheapos...very good if you ask me!

Hey anyone else have any interesting Ipod set up. Here is mine that i wanted to share. Very easy install, for those who just want to listen to the ipod on the stock stereo deck. N for those who aren't too fussy about quality of sound or extra features.

Mine was a very easy set-up, cable straight from the back of the stock decks, cd aux, to the storage compartment to my ipod. yes it lacks the abilty to be controlled, hence why I bought the airways remote control that works fairly good. It gives you skip tracks, volume, pause. No you don't get to see the names of the songs or change playlists while driving. But turn it to your favourite playlist and you have the ability to scroll through and change songs. No you can't see the song titles on the stock deck, but I really didnt need that feature for $399.00 + install. My total cost was $30 cable and $60 for remote control, and an easy do it yourself install. Really easy.

Here is my set up.

cool. if you do the install yourself, which is really easy. don't take anything apart, other then pulling your deck out. the wires nicely tuck into the side of the middle console, and hide nicely into the back of the storage compartment. so don't unscrew anything. just run the wire from the back of the deck and under and tuck under and away.

make sure you get the stereo keys to pull out the deck. i had to buy them for $5. i didn't even know that these keys existed. didn't come with my car for some reason or in my tool kit. i got lucky and the guy that i bought the aux cable from sold me the keys....

seems cool

hey, do you think this would work on my 05? I am assuming it eliminates the need for the itrip which loses signal ever 3 songs right?

Hey, as long as you don't have a CD Changer hooked up....because the aux cable goes from CD Changer input on the back of the deck to the ipod.
