Its cheap enough, looks like it would only give you a line in but I could live with that for the price. Tired of the cassette adapter. I have a 99 that I think has cd changer control because I have the 13pin connector that has been run all the way to the back and you can see where po had a changer mounted. Just wondering if I got this adapter how do I get the oem deck to read the cd changer input that this adapter would use? In other words if you had a changer paired with the stock radio how would you control it or select it from the deck.

Thanks

Seems like a pretty elegant solution, let us know how it works.

I would recommend using the line out of your I-pod for better sound quality and consistency.

Something like this. I bought one for like $3.00 a few years ago, so they can probably be had cheaper.

That would be a very smart purchase. Not only is the sound better but you also don't have to worry about hitting the volume control on the iPod and changing it on the car stereo.

there are harness that go from the bottom of the ipod to two rca and a a pos and neg wire to be able to charge it. I could probably combine the two. Would need an rca to mini adapter also, but for about $40 charge and play ipod without ability of radio to control ipod.

Did anyone end up going this route?

I'm getting real tired of the tape adapter (which surprisingly sounds pretty good), but haven't decided on anything yet.
