anyone wire there ipod into their car? if so what did u use? how much did it cost?

 

I had a Belkin Cig adapter and wired it into the fuse box and hide it up under the console and ran the line out up to the Aux jack. The wire from the Cig adapter comes up under the E brake handle. Works great for about $30 if I remember what I paid for the adapter.

 

Koopa had the aux jack installed right below the toggles. I connect my iPod using a retrackable aux cable from amazon.com (very cheap). I run the cable to the right behind the passenger downtube, then connect it to my iPod which is in the ProClip 2nd location.

 

pics?

 

Not to hijack the thread, but retractable cables are *great*, especially if you have a laptop. I have three in my laptop bag right now - ethernet, USB (with a mini-usb adaptor on one end for my camera, GPS and calculator), and a charge/sync cable for my PDA.

You just extend them out to their full length (usually 3-4 feet), and they lock into place. When you're done, another pull retracts them back onto their spool, and you toss them back in your bag. No muss, no fuss, and no tangled cables.

If there's a retractable iPod cable with a USB connector on one end and the dock connector on the other end, that's next on the list.

For connection to aux input, I use the retractable cable for iPod line-out (dock connector at one end and stereo plug on the other). It gives better sound than connecting to the iPod headphone jack: http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/...%20Accessories

 

Ordered - Thanks!

 

I'm using a Denison Ice link for the Cooper but it was intended for my 3-series until I crashed it last week.:impatient The only thing that it doesn't display is ID3 tags since I don't have an 06 HU.

 

 

OEM iPod adapter here. Wired up myself. No id tags, but all else fully functional through the steering wheel. iPod, nicely tucked away in glovebox.(haven't seen it in over a year, but use it daily).
