Ipod In Car!!!

THE IPOD IS THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!!!!! damn i got a ipod for christmas i thought awww wtf !!! am i going to do with this so i take it back to the mac store while waiting in line i see this box that say fm transmitter i start reading it. sounded like some bad ass shit takes whats playing on your ipod transmits it on to a radio station so i bought it easy to hook up a infant can do it. so i hook it up sounds great no more cds on the floor getting scratched . i walk into wal-mart with ipod in my pocket while my girl friends sits in the car i ask her to tell me when it fades out so i go in and walk around the whole store come out and she said it was fine played perfect... i just hope every one in af doesnt have one because then i will be a idiot...............im like a kid in a candy store!!!!

yeah dude, iPods rock. I love them. A buddy of mine has one it it is cool. Even without the FM Transmitor you can hook it up to an aftermarket deck with an AUX In.

I am happy for you!! :-)

my girl has that fm transmitter and it sucks on her car.

i still have the factory infinity cd/cass deck and i just use a cassette adapter with my pod.

they are the best ever! i got a 20gb with around 3.5k songs right now.

Yea man, I love my iPod. I got the 30gig one and the iTrip. The only thing is, I only use my iTrip on long trips, cause I don't like to go through the hassel of turning it on when I get in the car. I also have the monster in car charger which is great in long trips. I want to see if I can custome fabricate the iPod into my center console so all I have to do is just plug it in each time. We'll see.

I love iPods I wish I had one. I am debaiting on getting a Music keg or iPod. Leaning tward the keg(kenwood).

i used to have an ipod in my car. i found it hard to driver and select songs on it at the same time. so i got an Alpine MP3 deck. i can fit 200+ songs on a disk, i have about 5 disks in my car sorted my category. much easyer to navigate with trying to drive and shift. my deck also can read Alpine MP3 changers, so you could for the price of an ipod get an Alipine MP3 deck and mp3 changer and hold all the songs of an ipod and be able to navigate through the 2 line text full scrolling deck.

The cool thing about the Kenwood music keg is its a hard drive that connects to A Kenwood deck. You can navagate folders and suck. iPods rule for moble music player.

ipod is all i need i have about 1000 cds out of the maybee 999 are scratched haha now this thing i can hold 10,000 songs . i could fabricate it into my car i just dont know where yet. i dont know too much about the keg beside the one filled with beer. but apple is coming out with so many more things you can do with this thing

I have about 80 gigs of music on my computer so even with mp3's on cds its not enough. Too much dam music.

oxygen800r do you live in texas

hell yeah, i love ipods. i've had 3 of them. it's awesome cause when me and my buddies are driving down interstate in 3 different cars, we can all jam to the same music. you can put soo many songs on them and for treefrog:
all i do is make playlists of like 100 songs at a time and that way you don't have to be switchin songs all the time, works great.

oxygen800r do you live in texas
yup. i'm in austin.

what's a keg?
not the beer one, but the music one...i've never heard of it.

im in austin all the time i live in boerne but moving to austin

my dad dose that on his harley , he dosent have a cd player so he puts a mp3 player and the transmitter in his sattle bags....

the keg (the kenwood one :biggrin:) is a hard drive that connects to a compatibile kenwood headunit so that you can scroll through them on the headunit. you also can take the keg inside and load it full of music. id rather have an ipod since it can work with any stereo and you can use it seperate

Guys, I have an '04 Eclipse with the stock Infinity stereo/CD changer...do you know if there's any inputs in the back that can be used to hookup the iPod with? I really don't want to get a new stereo for an iPod, and I hear the FM transmitters suck (and I don't have a tape deck in my car).

You gotta buy the auxilary cable, i dont know if the ipod brings it or not but best buy sells it for like 5 bucks.

Also, you can use RCA cables instead. Those are also in best buy so if you dont have an auxilary input then you can use your RCA input in the back.

But i have no idea if your stock radio has either one of these.

i ipod makes rca jacks my fm transmitter is good all i need but yeah check the back of you deck and look for the rca connects most likely not stock decks do come with them i dont know about the 04's but my stock deck didnt

Stock system doesn't have RCA or an auxiliary input, nor can you unplug the CD changer and put in an adapter, as one isn't made for these units. Other option is to buy the MITAH plug that will give you 4 RCAs for direct input to the stock amp, but you'd have to convert that over to 2 RCAs coming from your iPod...and that's a mess. Best bet is the following (unless you use a lame FM Transmitter):

Great news for us sticking with the factory head unit...as long as Audiovox's new kit supports it, which I assume it will.
