iPod / XM / Changer Solution in my 986

[dcallas]

I posted about this install already elsewhere, but I thought I'd share some original pics. I integrated my iPod and XM receiver using a Soundgate Aux3 Switch and a spec.dock from 2point5, LLC in Atlanta. It's a great direct connect solution that allows you to keep your CD changer (I have a Becker CDR 220). The Aux3 comes with a 3-way switch that I installed to the left of the head unit - 1 for iPod, 1 for CD changer and 1 for XM. It's not the cheapest way to go, but if you buy the different components online and do the install yourself, you can save a lot of money (I had Al & Ed's do the install for $200).

Notice the switch to the left of the head unit:



Here's the spec.dock, which is an iPod dock that replaces the ashtray:



Here's a shot of all of it:

Those are some fly pants I must say.

Hey, I wear blue suits and black shoes EVERYDAY. You gotta mix it up every now and then to stay sane...

Nice setup dcallas. I have one question, how did you wire the power from the set up to your car so you can charge your iPod? I have the ability to charge my iPod but I haven't connected the power wire or ground because I'm not sure where to tap the juice.
