Default How to hook up Ipod or MP3 to 2003 LS430 Mark levinson system?

Just installed my woofers, they thump , I love them, but I don't want to have to use cd's all the time.

How do you guys hook up your ipods and mp3 players?


Thanks

I was looking to do the same, I looked at gromaudio and usaspec models. I haven't seen exactly how they work but I'm leaning towards the Grom because its a simple USB outlet meaning you could even use a inexpensive USB jump drive instead of a expensive iPod or iPhone.

Or you can buy vais module that connects plug and play to your stock head unit. There are adapters for ipod, etc. Cd quality as well and allows you to control through steering wheel.

Personally I wouldn't want to be locked into a iPod or specific interface because sooner or later it will be phased out. I think USB is bit more well universal and will be around for a while.
