Re: Best Way To Connect Your IPOD to your CAR

hands down .... the best interface is one that plugs straigth into the head unit. I know Alpine makes a box that directly connects an ipod to the bus where the CD changer is commected. I am sure a few other companies have the same sort of thing.

I have used both the headunit and the wireless.And i would have to say that the head sounds so much better.

i'm not trying to hijack this thread, just a quick question. would you recommend the adapter that allows you to control the ipod through the deck or i was also thinking about hooking the ipod up through a rca cable into the little cable that plugs into the back of the alpine deck?

seems like the ipod adapter would be a LOT more convenient. The alpine box also provides power, and charges the ipod as well.
