Hi All,

Just bought an MCS Convertible and it has the iPod connector in the glove box. I have to buy new tires so I am low on funds and was trying to find a way to get an Auxiliary input on the cheap. Is there an adapter or a way to use that iPod cable to be able to have Auxiliary input somehow?

Thanks!

Installation is easy as easy as removing one T15 Torx screw if you have little hands (or know someone who does.) A little more complicated if not as you'd have to remove more of your center stack.

 

Thanks, Jeremy. I searched and did find that solution, I just thought perhaps there was a simple adapter to convert the iPod cable to auxiliary

 

There is http://www.gromaudio.com/store/acces...-c-ipd2jk.html

 

Nice!! Thank you! Does it work though?
Not sure how I would select that as a source. When I click through the sources without the iPod hooked up, it says "No Magazine; No Disc." With the iPod hooked up, it has a music track # where it would say "No Magazine" but still says "No Disc." I'm wondering if it would detect music without an actual iPod hooked up or not. Any experience with this?

BTW - Using the keywords from that page of the product you found I found two more:
CableJive: SoundDock Input Cable
CableJive: Universal Dock Converter

 

Found this review on Amazon regarding that product:
"I wanted to connect the earphone jack on my Droid Eris to the iPod plug on my Mini Cooper, which the dealer installed when I bought the car in 2006. I was hoping I could then listen to Internet radio. (My car stereo doesn't have an Aux jack.) But for whatever reason they aren't compatible. The stereo displays "No Magazine" -- which is what it says when nothing is connected. I notified the vendor of the problem and he very promptly replied and offered a full refund."

 

If you are handy with electrical connections, you can make your own aux-in for a few dollars: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...input-diy.html

 

Thank you. I did come across that in my searches, but I am not so handy
