Are there any iPod connectors for the stock HU?

Or do we have to get a new HU that's iPod ready? My iTrip sucks, I can't find any stations w/o any interference.

iPod adapters:

Blaupunkt

Pioneer

Alpine

TIA

either a new Hu or a Fm modulator are the only ways i know of. modulators IMO aren't worth it for the sound quality though. Plus they are too Expensive for what they are. I reccomend you buy a new HU from crutchfield so if you ever want to put your car back to stock its simple.

Adam J - Thanks!

Do you know if the wired FM modulator can be installed standalone w/o the Drive & Play?

It won't be perfect, it'll be radio quality. But at least it won't have static or cut in and out. For perfect quality you'll need a new HU with an iPod adapter, similar to the attached pic. That costs ~$200.

Tuffguy (or anyone who has an answer for that matter), for those of us with the S&S package which comes with CD changer, is there an option which would plug into the changer input on the factory HU? I'm not using the changer because i have the Mitsu gauge package so this is available to me if there is something out there we can use.

I think that you're just as screwed as the rest of us.
