whos got the best way to integrate ipod into our cars? done the research and still havent made up my mind. i want to get digital audio without sacrificing the in-dash bose. most of the "good" hook-ups require you to ditch your in-dash changer for the aux inputs. not willing to do it, that thing is an asset. been looking at the alpine and jl interface adapters that allow for multiple additional hook-ups, but they arent digital! another way would be a carputer, but if i was going to do that, i wouldnt have gotten an ipod. i know some of you high rollers have got something figured out, let me in on it!

uhm, or the audi adapter that clairparts sells.

Just get the Dension Icelink or Audi iPod adapter, remove the head unit, plug it in and you are all set. The trouble starts if you have SAT or a glovebox CD changer but with the Symphony head unit it's no problem at all.

blitzsafe adapter for sound....
i hardwired a 2nd cigarette lighter under my seat and plugged the belkin car adapter into it and the blitzsafe into it... then the dock connection to the ipod for line out / charging at the same time

Primarily because the HU hasn't got a digital input.
at least, not that I'm aware of. I'd be happy to pull my symph II off the shelf and post a pic of the schematic for you.

do you have a consolidated "final" version of your process? if i cant find a digital hook up, i might do what you did. thanks

jl audio makes an addition adapter called the clean sweep that allows for multiple additions, and is as close to digital as it comes apparantly. alpine makes a head unit with a versatile usb like input for easy digital ipod hookup, but id have to scrap my head.
