IPOD install
 

I just got an IPOD and I am looking to hardwire it to the Radio I have found a product that lets you hardware it like a CD Changer but I was wondering if anyone on the board has done this ? I didn't see a 91 Corvette on the list of Radios that it works with. Thanks

I am not sure if you are referring to a true "hardwire", or something like CD changers that use an FM modulator to play through your radio frequency. If that is what you are talking about, look into the AutoBug 350 Wireless Transmitter.

Thats is Close, I have one of those now but I want to wire it into the car so that its not using my lighter.

Re: IPOD install
 

There are others which do not use the lighter like the one you insert a cassette tape. However, I have seen at least one system that is hard wired in, I just cant remember where. If it comes to me, I'll post it here.

BYW- Do you like your current AutoBug set up aside from it using the lighter, and is the reception good?

the
I have tested 3 different ones from the Air Play that plugs into the top of the IPOD. Cost about 30 bucks.. not worth it.. I found that the best one is the ICarPlay from Monster. it seems that any FM Transmitter that uses an external Power source works better. however the ones that are hard wired into the Aux of the Radio would work even better since you don't have to worry about getting a wireless signal.

This thing works.

I had iTrip before it, not good.

But Road Trip rocks.. I did read magazine review of it befure I did buy one and at test many people couldnt hear difference of Road trip and CD..

Also other peope if they tune their radio to same station will hear your music and they will hear it very clear. Amazing device.. :)

Only bad thing I have found was that its on way when you put shfter to reverse.. Well.. I mostly go forward anyway.. :-D

Even I am not smoker, it looks like I would need 3 cigarette lighters.. One is just not enought.. RoadTrip needs one, Garmin Streetpilot C550 also want one.. and what if I want to charge GPS phone.. ;)

I use the ipod with the cassette adaptor (ONLY $20) in both my boat and the Z. Esp since my cd crapped out in both my rides!

Re: IPOD install
 

I have since found an even better one than the Autobug. It is called the Port Authority2 and it sounds very clear. Granted it is not going to be as nice as a hard wire set up but it works well. It can also be powered by batteries so you can use it on any stereo anywhere you like.

Onre time at a informal car guys local hangout I had my T-Bird there with my high power Ham radio FM transmitter. I was coming across muffled on several of the FM converter systems I was told by the owners. I think they might have had the cheepo models though!

I use the transpod works well. Tust me $40 on ebay all day works like a champ. Just plug it in and use.
