There has to be a cable to handle the iPod instead of the CD changer?
Any suggestions wich stereo to swap to if there is not such a cable?
I do like the navigation, so it would be cool with a navigating stereo
that has conection to the iPod like in newer cars.

iPod controlling head units do exist, but the CDR220 won't do it.

Crutchfield might have something

That Becker Cascade 7944 is a sweet set up :

- Bluetooth for the cell phone
- Voice command capability
- Navigation with traffic
- Ipod interface with display

I wonder how much ?

That is a SWEET unit if your looking to stay with the stock look.

I wonder if it would just be a plug and play with the wire harness that is already in our cars? Any thoughts?

I searched for a price, the only price I saw for it was 749euro.

Ok, bought the ipod adaptor that Chills described and Radio keys on ebay new for $7.95 free shipping. Total cost $52.03. Not bad considering FM modulator is horrible. I will try to snap a few pix when I install if anyone is curious. I will post some results after I am finished.

Thanks!

$2

Did my IPOD enhancement for only $2. Went to big lots and bought a cable phono to RCA cable.
Cut the RCA cable ends off. Joined the copper ground wires together and was left with 3 wires. Red, Copper, White. Cut some wire connectors in half to fit the small connections on the back of the 220. Put them on the old RCA ends of the cable and pressed them on the back of the sterio. Voila works great. I connected them to the three far right connections on the sterio. Top white, middle (Below) ground and bottom is Red.
Press and hold your TP button to get serial number etc... go to aux and turn it to "ON".
Now when you want to listen to your ipod just press "S" source and go to AUX. Works great!
