Anyone know how to hook up a I-pod to A non- i-pod headunit?

[bustedknuckle]

I found an article a while back about hooking up a I-pod to A headunit that wasn't I-pod ready and now I can't find it? Any electrical gurus out there know a way to bypass without forking over another couple hundred bucks for an I-pod ready unit? Call me lazy but radio sucks and theres only a few good songs on a cd. Some cd's are an exception.


Thanks!

You would use a seperate rf modulator to hardwire the ipod in

go to walmart and buy a mp3 fm converter. you plug it into cigarette lighter and plug the i pod in then put the selector to whatever channel then put that channel on your radio and wella the sound will come thru. they are 10.00 to 65.00

I just picked up a Ipod ready radio at bestbuy last night for 99$.

If your radio has a tape deck, I'm curious as to if one of those CD to cassette adapters would work? You know....it looks like a cassette and has a wire that comes out of it with what looks like a head phone jack on the end of it.

that will work but the sound quality wont be as good.

I have something Harmon Kardon makes for interfacing iPods with non iPod head units.. I forget what its called. Has its own screen for song selection, a remote, everything. Ill make you a heck of a deal on it if you want it. It works really well, I just dont need it any more.

Will do RF input or has its own built in FM transmitter

That might be it.. seems like they changed them in the second version but I dont know the difference. I might as well throw mine away if theyre that cheap.

We could probably go this year if it wasnt so far. Thats a long haul.
