What do you use to listen to your ipod?

I want an auxiliary input in my car for an ipod. I bought a usa spec pa11-gm45 interface but I dont think my radio has the source button I need for it to work. What do you guys do?

Sorry to thread jack but I have a Sony 420-IP with an Ipod cable built in. I am not that familiar with Ipods and am planning on getting one. My question is do they all have the same port for the cable on them. I just want a simple one like the nano or something.
 
Oh. So basically everyone has an aftermarket head unit? My car is a limited edition so I was wanting to keep it stock for now. I might just go with a Pyle PLMD9 inline fm transmitter. I have one from a car I used to own

I think the only one that doesnt use the standard ipod cable is the shuffle
 
seriously matt? were your audio files 320kbps?

do some google searching, i know you can take apart your deck and hardwire a 3.5mm headphone jack to allow you to use it rather than your input function. i'm not entirely sure if that's accurate, but i know something of the sort is workable. if you can't find that article or don't have the know-how, go with a transmitter. usually the amount of money spent directly influences quality.

out of 5 or 6 that i have owned, this dlo was the best for sound quality, hands down.
 
ohhh i was under the impression you didn't like the SQ.

i've went through a couple with the reboot and dead batteries. the first gen click wheel was the worst. had that thing refurb'ed like 5 times before i upgraded a few years ago.

Just researching ipod option as well for 2000 Pontiac Grandprix with bose system single cd - seems it also lacks the aux/cd changer function. BigBadjohn & others - I am curious if you found a non-fm solution? Seems like all the forum posts with alternatives require cd changer/aux input on back of radio. Thanks!

I have a pyle PLMD9 which is in line with my radio and antenna. I was just wanting a direct audio input though if at all possible
 
Adapters - 1995+ GM Radio Auxiliary Input Adapter: PIE GM9-AUX (RCA)

This works in the following applications, but ONLY for radios that have the 9-pin auxiliary plug on the back AND are capable of controlling a remote CD player (single or multi). This does NOT mean it will work for you just because your radio has the 9-pin plug. For starters, your radio must have a TAPE AUX or CD AUX button OR you must already have a factory remote CD player.
 


One day i'll find one... I have an alpine cda-117 for now.

It's the same as my 9887!! They just removed the colors and the H100 processor is external now. If the CDA-117 matched my interior better I'd probably grab it just because it seems a bit more refined with controls.
