Ipod Install

[Cali2gGST]

Iv searched but have been un able to find any answers but is it possible to wire in a ipod cable wither to the stock head unit of amp? in a 98 2g? thanks in advance .

No. There is no way to directly wire an ipod to just any head unit. The only way to get an Ipod to work with a head unit is by:

A) You have a head unit with an auxilary input and a double sided male headphone jack to use with it.

B) Your head unit is designed to be compatible with the Ipod (for instance, with mine you just buy the 20 dollar cable and plug it in the back, full digital and you can scroll through the Ipod from the headunit).

Some of the Mitsubishi radios have a front AUX input, just like modern radios do.
Your best bet will be to buy a new radio with a front-input, a harness plug and a DIN pocket. Or, one with a plug, and an SD card slot:

You could use that ipod thing that uses a radio station. No wires

I have some questions about this.


If anyone is good at electronics PLEASE HELP here...

I currently have a monitor in the very center of my console.
I also have an ipod I'd like to hook up.


Is the anyway you could wire up the Ipod so the monitor displays all the songs, and technically the entire Ipod screen on the monitor?

If anyone could help, please do!!

That pretty much sums up your choices. I've tried those wireless RF transmitters, but I found you lose bass response with them. I use a headunit with a rear-mounted AUX-in. I routed a wire through the center console and to the ash tray (I don't smoke and it's the perfect size for an MP3 player).

Tom, what is running your monitor, OS-wise? Probably the only way to go about doing what you want is to connect the iPod, via the bottom connector, to whatever device is running the screen. That device will then need to have iTunes or some 3rd party-compatible app installed. There will probably be more options if the thing is running Linux.

I believe there is a adapter you can buy that will make your ipod work off of a stock stereo. I have a pioneer thats ipod ready, so i can control it on the radio. Check on www.crutchfield.com, I'm pretty sure i saw it on there.

There are more options. They make a cable on ebay that allows you ipod to send a video feed. http://cgi.ebay.com/FOR-30GB-60GB-8...ryZ48680QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Its like 6 bucks shipped. You would hook up the rca video to your TV and then hook up the RCA audios to a small amp...maybe 50x4. Then hook up your stock speakers to the "outs" on the amp and there you have it. The video will display on the screen and the sound will come from the speakers. It should cost 6 bucks for the cable and maybe 30 for the amp.

So thats the CABLE, AMP, and some wiring. You will still need to control everything from the ipod and keep it charged at home between uses but I mean thats not a big deal. I ran my set up like that before I sold my GSX. IT was badass.

I just installed a new Sanyo unit like this one, hooked up my ipod, and the sound is really quiet. I have the ipod turned up almost all the way, and the deck as well, but where I would play a CD at volume level 15-20, I have to have the volume level at 45 when playing the ipod to get the same level of sound.
Has anyone else has this problem?

Did you make sure both ends were pushed in snuggly? Sometimes it take a bit of force and they click in, expecially with new ones.

Otherwise there may be a setting in the otions of the deck that needs to be adjusted, or its faulty.

also you guys can hop in itunes right click your songs and then go to get info then to options and slide the volume thing all the way up and it will allow for louder music..but you have to do everysong.

Did you check if your decibel limiter is enabled on your ipod?
