iPOD AUX

[AUDIOGUY]

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!

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!

hate to beat this post to death but I have another question on how to finish the iPOD Aux jack. Is there an adapter to plug into the usb port on the iPOD to mate with the RC jack (female end) that came with the adapter from Becker. Of am I limited to getting an adapter to plug into them and one end to plug into the earphone jack on the iPOD.

CHILLS,
I saw that while I was looking throught the site after a link was posted. I was hoping the one from Becker was configured that way. Hopefully I can return the one I got from Becker and just order that one from the link. By the way. Has anyone tried the head unit with the GPS incorporated and flip up screen? I am thinking on replacing the head unit now with some kind of GPS capability.

Ben,

I would stick with the one from Becker. You have a couple of options.

You can use this plug to connect to the Becker, running through the headphone jack :

Option One

I would recommend something like this running to the bottom of the Ipod. Better sound quality and the volume control on the Ipod would no longer be an issue :

Option Two

Hope this helps...

Nick,
I guess at time beating a dead horse to death will bring good news, at least in this case. This was the set up I envision when I first ask the question. Thank you this should give the application a better and cleaner arrangement on the dash. Thank you... Option two that is.

Hey Nick, I actually already have option 2 for my home stereo, so are you saying that the headunits have a traditional RCA Aux input? I am looking at putting it into this unit (attached - don't know the model number). All I need are the keys to remove the head unit (ebay?), then plug into the AUX, right? Thanks!
