        try this, it is a harness that plugs into the cd changer port of your factory system, which is much better than using an FM Modulators-- I have yet to hear a good review on one of those from anyone who cares about sound quality

          I use the Monster iCarPlay, no complaints whatsoever:



          Although that rig Kobe suggested looks pretty damn cool.

            i installed the Griffin Road Trip one:


            and it sucked!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

            i returned that piece of shit and got the iPod2Car:


            and it sounds soooo much better!
            even though it retails for about $200, it is so worth it. i totally love it.

              do your best to avoid FM Modulators, you best bet it to plug directly into the stero, be it through the cd changer or an aux port

                ^^ second that, avoid FM modulators. I bought one because I thought I can get a cheap solution but it`s not worth it.

                The Ipod ice link adapter did the job though for me: http://www.dension4u.de/shop/boxen_c...&faqdesk_id=78

                  I just use one of the CD>tape player things. Works good enough for me. That's the super cheap solution.

                        waste of money. my kit cost my 175.xx ... the biggest waste of money. I got the pioneer hook up and it just the dumbest thing i have done. ipod is for foot, car stereo is for car.

                        i learned that the hard way.

                          anything with a direct connect beats any fm modulator. high probability of interferene. i used to work at a radioshack, and those modulators got returned daily.

                            If you car has a cassette player, a cheap/fair way is to get the old cassette adapters. If not, I agree that you should avoid getting the FM modulators because they suck. The RCA to miniplug cable that Kobe suggests is probably the best way to go if you have aux inputs.

                              Yeah, the Pioneer one is supposed to be terrible. Alpine makes one for their HU's that is supposed to be really good.
