FM Modulator?

[LittleD]

How do these work? to my understanding they plug into the rca cables on a radio and then the other end plugs into a mp3 player.

Does any one use one that can give feedback, and what are some good companys that make them? This will be going into a alpine radio and don't want to spend the $250 on the alpine specific one.

IIRC they should work as an Aux input.

I have the alpine cda-7894 which has the cd changer cord on the back of the deck. All i want to do is plug my ipod into the stereo.

Would this be what i need. how would i plug in the ipod cable to a rca?

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

there's cords on the market that convert from a 3.5mm headphone jack (i.e. the output jack on your iPod) to the RCA inputs. run one of those to this adapter and you should be all set. you won't be able to control the iPod from the head unit, but I have mixed feelings about being able to do that on my head unit. it tends to be annoying.

If you are going to be using an alpine the cable to plug in the back should be no more then $60. Where are you getting this price of $250?

and a monster cable from that to your ipod. i don't have a link for that though

Im gonna get a auxilary input to rca adapter that will plug into the cd changer, then a rca to a 3.5mm output plug.

Now i just need to find out where my bro put the harness

Just ordered all the shit to get this deck in the jeep. costed me around $40 and change.

THEN i found this. http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=764

Edit: and im happy i don't control the ipod from the deck, that would be extremely distracting

it goes right under the flux capacitor

that last link woulda been nice about 3 weeks ago. i jsut did all of this adn got that original ai-net to rca and then the rca to 3.5mm cable.

honestly it works and if your not a crazy car stereo sound quality guy then it will work fine. but the sound quality isn't that great. esp hard rock. everything else sounds fine

I think that that all depends on the deck you have. The reason im putting the alpine in mine is because the JVC didn't have the balls to go with my speakers, when the beat would strike, the deck would cut out almost.

OK, i got all the radio stuff the other day, hooked the deck up and that works fine. However i plugged the aux input connector to the cd changer plug on the back and can't figure this out. How do i get the ipod to play? i can only go from tuner to cd.

Also, my cd player in this alpine unit doesn't work, could this be the problem?
