anyone hard wire their ipod/mp3 players??? can do a freakn search in the forums for some reason. please post pics, love to see it

i have some ideas to get my ipod in

 

Okay,
First off.
You need to read the forum STICKIES on the top of the page, it will explain why you cant search and most your answeres will be there.
Second.

Welcome to the ORG.

And finally for wiring your IPOD. I think there is actually a setup that you can buy for doing that. Research it on google.com

 

I want to see pics of 4th gen. maximas with hardwired mp3 players. its pretty hard to find, so i thought this forum will have some good leads

 

what do you mean hardwire? what kind of head unit do you have?

 

hard wire, to custom install the mp3 player into the back of your deck. heres a simple example on a vw touareg, they bought a mount that recharges their player and plugged it in the cig lighter.

i really would like to see 4th gen maximas instead of other cars

 

Has anyone tried this: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPL...10.3.70.1.13.0

 

that link doesn't work

 

I'm actually interested in doing the same thing - there must be a way to use the CD changer in the Bose HU (if you have 4th gen). I am looking up how now..

 

Some of Alpine's new units will be able to have an Ipod connected to them. You will be able to control some of the Ipod's functions as well. Here is the link:

thought about that, but to get all the ai net stuff is expensive. im happy with my double din pioneer deck for now. need to find out if i can hook up my ipod into that then i have a great idea to install the ipod. i'll post up pics when its done

 

I'm thinking the only way to do it keeping an existing Bose HU is to use a simple switch that switches between your HU outputs and the Ipod. It would be really primitive, but unless you know the comm protocol for the changer, there is no other way to use the HU.

 

I'm using the tape adapter w/ the bose and it sounds great - never got around to a hardwire. Here's an idea - I mount my Ipod in the pop-out ash tray (gotta remove the ashtray insert). It's a perfect fit, even w/ my ipod skin sleeve and I can read the display while driving!
