*Gulps* this requires pulling the dash apart

 

LOL good luck with the install

 

I'll probably make it my project this saturday... and since this is the first time i've taken the dash apart it's gonna probably be a full morning/afternoon project lol

 

I need to get that.

 

I needed one that charges the iphone, the older version does not.

I had to make sure I got the up to date version, there are a ton of these selling on ebay:



notice the old ipod on the left, and look at my pic.

 

Ted installed one on his ride, I installed the nissan one on mine. Its not as bad as you might think. Ben and I tackled it in about 30 mins, it would have been less, but there was a button that needed switched on mine that i didnt reallize needed to be.

Good luck. If nothing else, save it for our next instal meet!

 

Yea from what I remember it wasnt all that hard but I have taken the dash in a 35 apart a few times so.

 

ok well I might hold off and wait till I get someone more proficient than I to assist me lol. I'm gonna order a 3.5mm to rca jack hookup to it anyways, so I can have the iphone sometimes docked for GPS and still have some muzak

 

let the modding begin.............

 

I ordered a nice premium RCA to 3.5mm cable from monoprice, $6 shipped for a 10 foot... not too shabby.

 

Nice...I have had this type of connection for over 8 years now in both my cars. I have had quality connectors and cheapos. The only difference is the amount of feedback potiential through its shielding.

I know I might get flamed for that question, but I have worked with car audio for two install shops and over 16 years of installs. I have used it all and found little difference between wires. Shielding and thickness is the only difference I have found to effect sound quality.

That was a good price for yours. I have seen people get ripped off for the same type of cord for up to$30!

 

monoprice.com is where i buy ALL of my cables, and while the shipping is a bit on the pricy side, their cable prices are dirt cheap, even their premium cables!

congrats on your first mod, yeah Ted did a good job.

 

i got the factory nissan unit that plugs into the sat prewire. and for the charging issue of newer ipods you just need to get an adapter
