it should plug right into any AUX in, to control it you need a compatible HU, but alot of companies just modified their cd changer controls to let you be able to change songs on the ipod.... at worst you'd have to use an fm transmitter but thats not that bad...

 

I have mine hooked up via an Alpine iPod interface cable. Sounds beautiful,.

 

i dare you to post that on ipodlounge.com....





i take that back....i triple dog dare ya

 

ya. i heard you can get adapters for only alpine headunits.... i have a sony...

i was gonna buy it for my plane ride to aruba, but after all this i think imma pass. plus i wanted to be able to use it in my car after my trip and seems like im not going to able too as of now.... plus i wanted an all black one...

 

yup, thats how im currently utilizing my ipod. you can also use an fm modulator, or an aux input on the back of your deck.

Personally I never cared for iPods that much, but since I work at Best Buy I have come across some great deals I couldnt pass up.

 

yea. i never liked the,m either. but it makes sense to beable to just take ALL my music with me, with out cd's

 

I have a 20GIG one, and I have about 1600+ songs and still have plenty of room.

http://www.enfig.com/ makes a bunch of cables/adapters that can get your iPod to connect (with or without power) to your cars stock radio, and allows you to control the iPod from your head units controls.

You can also use a tape-adapter, or you can use an auxilary input (headphone jack) if your head unit has one. You don't need an "mp3 head unit," as everyone else stated.

Also, while the iPod is mainly for MP3's, in the end it's nothing more than a portable hard-drive and you can put any filetype you want on it, and transfer it from computer to computer by connecting to the computer via USB or Firewire, whichever you choose.

In fact, if you get the Windows-formatted iPod it will even work with your Playstation2 as a "USB Storage Device."

It is recommended (for ease of use) that you use iTunes to transfer all of your MP3's over to the iPod, because it's basically as simple as adding your MP3's to a playlist of your choosing, and telling it to transfer that entire playlist over to the iPod, and to keep the iPod updated with that playlist at all times. However, it is not necessary -- you can transfer the files manually if you wish.

And, any MP3's will work -- not just "iTunes store" MP3's.

 

And Bmw's are...overprice hunk of shit.

Experience drivng a iPod...very fluid

 

im planning on buying a 1G shuffle some time. i have over 100gigs (20,000 tracks) of music, and i dont plan on wanting to listen to any more than a couple hundred songs at any given time.

 

do not get the shuffle.. you'll regret it immediately. for just a little more, you can the ipod mini (if you must stick with apple), and it comes WITH a display, and 4GB.
