ipod / passport X50 install *PICS*
Here are some final pics of my x50/ipod hardwiring. I used the belkin auto cable with the pac audio adapter to achieve power and audio-out, hardwiring it onto the switched 12v the cigarette lighter provides. Having one cable for power/audio rocks! I also used the smartwire adapter to hardwire in the X50, the remote is in a very handy spot now. WORD UP TO DRIVING WITH MY ASH TRAY IN THE CLOSED POSITION!

what do you have under the radar? did you glue it to the dash or something?

Where does the y-cable exit under the console?
I have the PAC and have been researching connection options. The Belkin Auto-Kit seemed to be a good solution. I would prefer an unamplified line out connection but the power/audio combo is hard to beat.

Basically instead of taking apart the belkin adapter, i just wired in an additional cigarette lighter behind the dash, plugged in the belkin kit, attached the audio, and zip-tied/taped everything down behind the HU.

I did this for a friend, got the belkin "pill" looking car kit. Broke it open, hardwires the audio and power to the PAC unit and just made the docking connector reside in the nav cubby (350z)... works great. Only pain is it makes the player on pause when the car is started back up. If it made it play instead it would be perfect.

When hidden, the only wire visable is the one connecting your HU to the ipod, and it not only charges it and sends out audio, but when you turn off the car it'll pause your iPod.
