Default Audio input question

Hi all,

For the audio input in the IS, I know there's an audio jack and two USB plugs. If I want to hook my iPod up, do I need an USB to iPod cable, or do I need an audio-audio cable? I want to have tunes playing when I pick up my new car

Thanks

You can use either. I use the USB cable only because I cant find my aux cables.

No prob! If you mean the same iPod interface onto the navi system, nope. Otherwise, you'd control it as you would with regular music controls if that made any sense.

Haha congrats on the new car! I got mines this past Sunday and I smile every time I look at back it lol.

Forget both! I recommend using the Bluetooth audio connection instead.

I have the old old school iPod haha, it's the only thing that will hold all 80GB of my music.

Another newb questions: is there a post count minimum requirement to have a signature?

Wow high5, I have the same iPod so I can only connect my phone via Bluetooth. 80GB on it too. Haha.

I think when you first register for an account here, it said something about 30 posts?

If you don't want to deal with a cord from the iPod to the port, or hassles of potentially leaving the iPod in a hot car, etc, you could always go for a 128GB flash drive, or if you didn't want to spend that much get a smaller one if you don't need access to all 80GB at the same time (even 32GB is A LOT of music!). One less thing rattling around in the car.
