Cheapest way to put a iPod in my car (NO FM Transmitter)
Cheapest way to put a iPod in my car (NO FM Transmitter)
My car's Antena is basically shot (horrible reception, yes it's plugged in where the spare tire is) plus I hear the quality sucks on FM Transmitters.
What options do I have as far as hooking up a iPod in my car? I have a 10GB 3G iPod which spends way too much time on my desk. I was wondering what the cheapest way to hook it up to my stereo was. I don't want to spend over $150, preferably ~100.
Info about my car:
1994 Camaro
Pioneer DEH-2400F Headunit
NO CASSETTE
will this work? CD IB100

Re: Cheapest way to put a iPod in my car (NO FM Transmitter)
I didnt see your headunit listed there hence i doubt it will work but this will. There may be an auxilary input adapter available for your headunit that model I am not sure of because I think I used to own it and it didnt have it. Call crutchfield at 1-888-955-6000 they will tell you if an adapter exsists and on the adapters there pricing is reasonable

This is what I did. If you have a compatible HU you could get an auxilary adapter like PentaVolvo mentioned. That will probably run you 30-40 bucks. That will give you a set of RCA inputs. Then just get a 1/8" to RCA cable adapter and viola. Thats basically what I did but I went the extra mile and installed the iPod dock where my ashtray was. I have it set up so I can charge my iPod and listen to it through my Pioneer HU on the auxilary source.
*EDIT* Also I saw you mentioned the Pioneer adapter for the iPod. Dont get it. The reviews have been horrible. Im going to be selling my car for a Z71 and will not be able to use the same setup so I looked into that unit as well. Everyone that has it says it works but it is horribly slow and a pain to navigate through the HU.
