Default So I got myself an iPod...

I'm a big Apple geak. Got the 3G 20 Gig one. I'm gonna hardwire a harness into the 90 so I can have a large amount of music at my fingertips. I'll write it up with pics soon as I get all the stuff I need in the mail. Has anyone else done this in their 90/80 or Coupe?

Later!

Default I just use iTRIP...its FM modulated unfortunately, but it serves its purpose...

...if my Alpine had an auxilliary input, I would just use that.

Default So what exactly are you "hard-wiring"?? All you need is a line cable from your iPod to the...

...auxilliary in. Unless you're talking about making a custom iPod holder??
That would be cool.

Default you got it buddy...

I'm gonna house the iPod under the armrest by the cup holder section. I'm running the aux rca wires under the center console from the head-unit, along with a power source spliced from...well I think I'm doing it from the cig-lighter. I don't like obstruction otherwise I would do this next to the glove box, you know the immediate right of the radio. But then I woul have to drill too much a run wires in a weird way, also the obstruction would irritate the hell out of me. I've also considered mounting the pod on the underside of the armrest. I have a remote with iPod so I really don't have to access the facia too much. I'm kinda liking the cup holder placement as of now. I'm making it so the pod faces up on an angle so I can still access the things I neeed fast if needed.
