Mitsubishi offers a $200 dollar I-Pod adapter, but the parts guy didnt know if it works or not in a Evo IX. Just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about it. And I do know that this is not a cost effective alternative to a more functional aftermarket head unit.

 

I would buy an FM modulated adapter before that crap. And I wouldn't ever buy an FM mod, unless it was for a rental car. Stay away from the oem adapter. Please.

 

i just use the RCA plug in on the back of my cd player. cost me like 4 bucks.

 

I'm going to buy the Drive + Play 2 when it comes out, expensive, but its the best Ipod adapter i've seen come out so far.

 

there are RCA plugs in the back of the OEM non-SSL head units?

 

Here is the back of a non-SSL OEM head unit:






6 months ago, I got an Alpine head unit and iPod adapter installed for less than $300. If you are seriously considering spending $200 for the ability to play your iPod in the car, you might as well go aftermarket with your deck.

 

The OEM Ipod adaptor works through the CD changer input, and I read that it generally sucks because you will see only numbers as you select songs. Get an aftermarket HU and adapter that will show you all the artist/album/song information. I have Alpine.

 

So given the cd player has an rca jack, you can buy an rca cable for ~$4.00, and you're telling me this works?

 

I picked up the iPod adapter from since I have the SSL package. I will most likely return it if you can only see track numbers instead of names.

At this point I might be better of going with a different radio unit to get an ipod connection to work..

anyone have any suggestions? Iknow the SSL package is a little different then most stock radios due to the sub...

 

mine was $2

 

I bought a used head unit for about $100 and an Ipod cable for $50

 

I have one for sale if anyone wants it.
