anyone know any good FM Recivers that work for the iphone, or any iphone kit that will work. i've tried a couple FM ones but no luck. nothing but static no sound.

 

an FM Transmitter that works...and sounds good? that's sort of an oxymoron imo. they all suck!

i would recommend you get something like the PAC AAI-NIS2 Auxiliary Input Adapter. the USA Spec is a similar device and another option.

you can get the PAC for less then $100. only a bit more then a nice FM Transmitter like the Griffn iTrip (which can cost $50-$75). and you'll get much better sound.

check out this thread from a easy PAC install i did a few weeks ago for my iPhone.

 

My ashtray ipod dock works wonders with the iphone. Only thing is it doesnt not charge the iphone will in the dock, but I've had this unit for a while now and I love the dock. No matter what it doesnt skip and plus its hardwired into your car. It's pricey and only available on a few models.

It works through your CD option, like you have CD player and you hit CD again. It does not work through the radio.

^ i've seen a few others here try a homemade ashtray solution like this - and even serious considered doing it myself.

but that Spec.Dock you have there is sick! good show...very nice.

 

Thanks! Yeah I have tried all others and this seems to be the best one by far. The clarity in the music is just like Radio or CD and I've hit bumps and my iphone didn't even budge.

I even got into an accident and was hit from the driver side and my (Ipod was in at the time) Ipod didnt even move.

 

that is pretty sick who makes that? I'm getting an Iphone and I want to get this.

 

Spec.Dock - notice the link: http://www.2point5.com

 

did you install it yourself? i'm curious what they are using to integrate it - to connect it to the actual head unit by AUX input. like if that are just including a PAC or USA Spec device or something custom they developed. do you know?

 

^ Thanks fishhouse I didn't even see that...

 

wow that is pricey!!! Suzuki1girl...Does the steering wheel controls work also for the Ipod when selecting music?

 

sorry but no i didnt install it myself so I dunno

yes it does but they charge more for that option

 

I use the USA Spec module. had to unplug my XM module to get it working. steering wheel controls and everything works with it just like the cd player.
i wonder if i can make that spec dock in my ash tray along with it... thats pretty sick!

 

that dock is awesome but a little pricey. I just got my G and am looking for the best way to integrate my iphone 3G. i used a new Belkin fm transmitter that "works for iphone" in my old car but it is very staticy in the G

 

yes you can. just use the cable that comes with the spec.dock instead of the one you're using now. you can use it with any device like PAC or USA Spec as long as it has a RCA Aux "component" (red and white) inputs.

 

can that dock be mounted anywhere else? i need me ashtray.

also i never got the satalite package for the car. i have a XM radio at my house with the car adapter. would i be able to hook up both and use them iwth no issues?
