Thanks in advance for any help  |
The iPod dock portion of these units will NOT work with the new iPhone 3G for charging, only for playing music as far as I know. I have no interest in using the ipod dock, because I don't want to change units everytime I want to hook up a new gizmo, thats why I just want to use the Aux input and then plug the ipod into a cheap standard charger at the same time.
So my questions are these:
I have Sat radio will either of those two units let me keep the sat radio and have an aux input?
Can any one of these be hooked up in the trunk like the factory ipod unit? (I wish that one had a standard auxin)
Will the unit require taping into the power line or will it draw power from the wiring harness? I know there are many threads on this, but there are so many out there that I've read that I'm just plain confused now.
Update:
I finally ended up getting the pac-aai-nis2. I took apart my dash like in the 06 MT HU removal thread and pluged in the unit. The pac aai-nis2 allows for both the power cable and the satellite cable from the non-bose stereo to be "pass through." So I just needed to remove the radio, plug in the correct harnesses (both pass through), and then jam the PAC unit into an open space next to the radio bay. I then snaked both Aux input cables (I bought an extra at Radio Shack to plug into Aux2) out to where I could reach them.
I set my radio to XM2 and then hit preset 2 for Aux 2 or Preset 1 for Aux 1. Works perfectly. Now I can use aux input from any device and also still power my iPhone 3G with a standard USB power plug.
I decided to go with the pac aai-nis2 unit because I don't want to have to go through this whole hassle everytime I get a new gizmo or apple changes the pinouts etc. Goodbye FM modulator!!!
