I was searching and couldn't find anything about using a ipod on our stock head unit. right now i'm using the fm transmitter and it sucks. the quality is terrible. i want to connect it directly. anyone find anything that can connect it directly? i found this but it's not our for our cars yet. if they made it to our car that would be great... anyways i'd appreciate your help. and yes i searched this is all i found--->

That transmitter works great on my car...granted it isn't cd quality. I have the s2000 antenna, but I don't know if that makes much of a difference. You would need a head unit designed for an ipod or mp3 player to hardwire it in.....your best and cheapest bet is to get a better antenna.

 

thanks for your reply, ima think about getting the s2000 antenna for now. hopefully someone has a solution. thank bro

 

I looked into this earlier and there was no easy/cheap solution at the time. Maybe things have change, but I don't think so.

 

Try this they might have something http://peripheralelectronics.com/web/home.asp

 

I have been searching for a way to connect the ipod to the stock head unit and there is no cheap way of doing it. If your going to spend over a 100 bucks for those gadgets in those sites your better of getting a new head unit with a aux input.

I currently use the crappy fm transmitter(which I paid 40 bucks for) and removed my antenna just so the radio does not pick up the public stations. I am looking for a decent head unit and will change that instead.

 

if your planning on using an ipod with any stock headunit you'll need a itrip.. they run about 39.99 at apple.com or best buy... btw, they work well.

 

I am hoping that PIE comes through with something for our cars. I had one on my Integra and it worked great. Has anyone seen the back of the SSL headunit?

 

yeah, actually i believe there is an ice link available for the mitsubishi's double check on it, but apple makes one specifically, you do have to have the option for a stock cd changer though, and i believe that even with the sound package it is not available. good luck!

 

the evo ssl or not does not have cd changer control which mean no aux input.

 

bump this, so we can get some more input! please

 

i hated my itrip. hated the sound, hated the interface, hated it.

i've had a much easier time living with the DLO unit. not as many stations to choose from, but i haven't had a problem getting the signal without much interference.

things i like better:

-no extra playlist full of radio stations.
-no fumbling around trying to get it to actually transmit at the chosen freq (button sequence is tricky when driving).
-stronger signal- i never have to change it from 87.9. that channel never worked on the itrip.
-it holds your ipod like a stand, no sticking it in my skanky cupholder.
-charges while mounted.
-ipod volume is disabled, output gain is static, and seems about right for radio signal.

all that said, i still have and use my itrip- can't use the DLO outta the car, so it comes in handy when i want to transmit to my boombox. but never in my car anymore.
