FM Modulator for Ipod - Will it work?
Anyone tried the Audiovox FM modulator from Circuit City for your Ipod/MP3 player? It got great writeups in the review, but was wondering if it will work with the Bose unit since the antenna cable appears to have another lead which I'm assuming is the trigger for the antenna to extend and retract. The advantage of this unit is that it totally disconnects the existing antenna when you connect to the ipod.

We bought the kids two cheapo ($18) FM modulators, battery powered. Just tune radio to a FM frequency that is not occupied and you play the IPOD over the radio, be it in a car or at home. The quality is no worse than what you hear over the radio. We looked at the ones that plugged into the cig lighter, and opted for one that was just battery powered. this way they can play it in their room, or take with them, etc.
I am sure the circuit city will be fine,
Good luck

i have used this and it works okay, but not phenomenal results in my opinion. you'd be better off with a "CD changer/RCA" output cable. which im pretty sure is possible for that radio.
if you WANT to spend the money, and im going on the line and saying its WELL worth it... Go out and get an Alpine Deck that is A/I NET compatable, then look into buying the Ipod modulator through alpine. it connects through the AI net cable and the regular old plugin for your ipod. its a pretty sweet setup in my opinion. ive had it for about 2 years now.

I have http://www.dlo.com/Products/TP_black...74398321685666
and I think it works great. It has always been clear sounding and ipod is always charged when I leave the car. I do wish I could control ipod on HU, but since you still have the stock HU it doesn't matter anyways.

No, it is surprisingly clean sounding. I was alittle wary when I bought it since I thought I would get static. The digital channel selector lets you make sure you get your HU on the same channel though. It also comes with alot of different mounting methods and sizes. Can get a new one on ebay for alot cheaper too.
