Well... wherever you bought it, its going to be the same thing... Hmm theyre must be something wrong in the way you hooked it up... nothing personal but if its not working, turn the car on, drive it around for a little ( mainly i dont know why... i guess to relax.. haha) scan through the channels and make sure ur ipod is on and playing with volume!!

ha yeah i have given it some time i played with it for over a hour but i have no problem with instal i have a problem getting it to work, it never listed a radio station, and i have scaned for it

xanderracing

I think your problem is.. all you have is the radio transmitter... dont you need the entire thing..? imo... go buy a deck with AUX in the back.... like pioneer's have them, then an AUX 6ft cable for 3 bux... but thats off topic.... but, from looking at the site, it seems they have... ALOOTTT MORE THAN THAT haha... no offense, i think you need more stuff... the harmon sites being dumb for me now, after i started looking @ it

xanderracing

Ok, sorry about the last post, it was sorta "skettchhyy" I think this is what you need.... lol

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...30660804302498

which you would be better off buying a new deck with AUX in the back! like i said

i think that may be ur issue.. i could be wrong

xanderracing

Alright yeah, sorry about so many posts, but all that fm transmitter does is strengthen the http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...30660804302498

yeah i am starting to wonder if i needed all the other stuff they sell to, but i checked with the best buy install guys and they told me that is all i need to get my ipod working with my stock unit, they told me they install alot of them and i got the last one they had in stock for this week, ?? so are they lying to me? i hope not

xanderracing

Ah, my friend works at best buy, and i'm they're almost 24/7 playing GH2 and checking out audio stuff. The guys near me for the most part know what theyre talking about... But yeah they may be wrong on this, and it may be a new item to the crew they're or something.... but its just for a stronger reception I THINK.. Just return it... best buy is great with returning open items, well for me atleast they were. Good luck, just buy a new HU, hahah im like a broken record probaly

ozlancerblack

ok i got it now i have been reading that and i see that this is only a accesery for those other item ah i was excited for a min when i found this cheap thing haha well i guess i am taking this one back and haveing a talk with best buy

Yeah a new head unit is most likely my new road now haha

xanderracing

Ah alright m8, good to help you out, sorry too hear your story... just go for a FM transmiter, sometimes can make a bad reception, but if your lookin to spend 20-40 bux, thats what ya want

ozlancerblack

well i thought this unit would have a clear singnal since it is going straight to the head unit from my ipod haha i knew this was to good to be true
