Connecting an ipod...
Hi
I got a 07 g35x, and i really did not think when i bought the car that having an ipod connecter is the smartest thing to get... Anyway i wanted to connect my ipod. I read online and people said the the Itrip (connecting it through FM) is horrible and the "studio on wheels" would be a waste of money. Then the Aux cable. My boy found one in the house and it work OK, i bought one of ebay and its crap. I know i wont find the perfect solution but anything will help. Oh and by the way the installing of the Nissan ipod connecter is not for me. I got 1 yr left on the lease and i don't want to spend 200 bucks on it.
thanks.

I can appreciate you not wanting to spend $185 for one more year having the car but if you get it you could easy remove it later and sell it on here. I think someone would buy it pretty quick used at a good price to you.
Monster makes a cable/charger that plugs into the 30pin port of the iPod and it has a place in the connector to plug in your RCA AV cable to it at the 3.5mm end. It works nice to because it charges and turns off/on the iPod with the ignition. You will probably need a ground loop isolator with it if you use it to play while it’s plugged into charger at the same time. It’s called a Monster Cable Ultra-Low Profile iPod iCharger (AICHG2 IP)
I bought one for $10 at a surplus store near my home. I use it in my wife’s van now.

However, will be attaching the Nissan harness this weekend, it just arrived

Oh hey, was reading that other thread, and looks like we have the same setup for the SAT cable. Where did you finally find the cable, was it the one circled in yellow in your thread?

You can disconnect the plug circled yellow and use it, or follow the blue arrow left...
...where you will find the unused Satellite plug. Mine was just hanging there as you can see in the green circle.
This is what it looked like after I installed the iPod kit. Sorry, I took the picture before I connected the iPod cable and ran it to the pass-through but that's pretty easy. 'A' is where I 'stuck' the iPod module, 'B' is where I grounded it using self tapping metal screw and washer, 'C' is the satellite connection and the blue line represents where I ran the iPod cable to the outside off the pass-through moulding and into the rear armrest cubby.
