iPod/iPhone Music recommendation needed Posted by Larry West [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Ok, so I really need to get my iPhone or iPod working in my 9-5. I've basically narrowed the choices to either a cassette adapter or an FM Modulator.
Will an FM modulator work well with the rear window mounted antenna? I'd think it would, but maybe someone else knows different. I'm leaning that way, because it leaves no wires dangling.
Belkin? Griffin? Other?
I'm not interested in modding the radio head unit, as I've seen done. Maybe sometime in the future, but not now. And if I do, I don't want to lose the cassette function.
I've already got a Motorola ICF-1000 Bluetooth system for the iPhone's phone function hooked in, and I don't plan to replace that. Besides, the 9-5 audio system is mono in for the phone.
And before you say it, I've been through the AudioTroll route on this and my previous 9-5, and it just plain doesn't play well with my iPod (fat Nano - randomly switches back to radio, often needs to have the car rebooted), and doesn't work at all with the iPhone 3G.
The only other potential things I might consider would be a replacement head unit, but it must be a double-DIN, as I don't think too highly of the single-DIN setup in a 9-5.
Thoughts?
