Has anyone had experience hooking up an ipod to the stock headunits? At the moment i' plan on installing it on my stock integra headunit.

 

Unless your head unit has an input of some kind (many stock decks don't) you'll have to use one of those fm modulators.

check there....

 

Have any of you guys used this device? I have a prelude whose factory cd player is a seperate unit (kind of like short din device) that is stacked directly above the main reciever. Do you think it will still work?

 

ok, i realized it treats the ipod like a cd changer. so it uses those controls

 

fm modulators suck cause sometimes you dont get a good signal

 

also look up the "icelink" by dension. It has a cradle for teh ipod and also allows you to use the radios buttons. It is expensive, but is getting great reviews.

 

you would need a aux input jack....check out what someone did with there itr at http://www.itrsport.com

 

drum roll please....for us Honda/Acura owners Periheral (PIE)

I saw that PIE system, looks nice and great price.

Anyone have reviews on it though?

I have the neo ion - what it does is make a direct connection to the stock deck through the cd changer port. It then tricks the deck into thinking the iPod is a cd changer so you get really good quality sound. It also charges the unit and you still have all your iPod functions. Take a look at their web site http://www.mp3yourcar.com Another nice thing is it was easy to install and took me about 10 minuets.

uhhhh pricy as hell

 

It is expensive, but is the only way to get higher quality sound than through a cassette adaptor while keeping your head unit stock.

Buying a cheap head unit with an aux-in might be a little cheaper, but you get what you pay for and a sub-$150 head unit w/aux-in is not something that I would want in my car (assuming one does exist)

Personally, I went with the icarplay wireless by monster. It is a combination FM modulator and cigarette-lighter adaptor. It uses the port on teh bottom of the iPod, so you get line-level sound and a charger with one connection (meaning only one wire cluttering up your dash). If I had the money, though, I would definitely go with the neo ion, or any of the other knock-offs of the Dension Icelink. http://icelink.densionusa.com/
