IPod connection

Does anyone that has taken the stock BOSE head unit out know if it has RCA inputs on it? I'd like to hook the IPod up through that vs. the FM Modulator as it loses some of the sound quality. Thanks. 2003 G35C 6MT.

You need the PAC (Pacific Audio) adapter / unit. Search the audio forum. Been discussed.

I have tried several FM Transmitters and have not been happy with products. That said, I finally have found one that works awesome. As good as you can get without pluggin in I think.

i didn't know Kensington came out with an fm tuner. i'm currently using the Belkin but its sound quality is only tolerable. also, i've heard good things about Monster's, but the kit is a bit pricey.

I feel your pain with these FM transmitters. I tried the Monster IPOD version as well and was not happy... noise and bad frequency range reponse. The Kensington unit is one of the best I have tried and I am still currently using their unit.

Yea FM Modulators work pretty good, I hooked up my iPod with the FM Mod. The only reason I went with the FM Mod is b/c my G is a 03 and doesnt have SAT.

Do we need an antenna adapter to use on the stock HU? On a 05 Bose stock HU.
