Hate FM transmitters, want direct connection to Ipod
00 Gs400 with oem deck/disc changer.
Currently have a Harmon/Kardon FM Transmitter Ipod system and I HATE the FM transmitter. Looses my volume about 30% and high beats static like hell. I actually sat in the car for 20min trying every single station and the best one still have statics on a regular hip hop song(treble).
So is there any thing out there I can DIRECT connect my Ipod to my OEM deck. Something like an AUX Input or USB input...Some kind of direct INPUT. This is pissing me off bc when I get like say 3 new songs I have BURN a new CD or listen to static music.
Whats available? Where can I get it?

I know exactly what you mean. I got Mark Levinson system and my radio and CD player can't play a sound anymore. Thank goodness for mp3 players. I got an mp3 player called ZUNE and it can play radio stations but with bad static as you mention. I believe the best alternative for radio is Sirus. You can listen to HD radio with it.

I want to play my own music and I'd like to stay with the oem deck for now bc if I upgrade its very tempting to go Alpine/Pioneer in-dash DVD/GPS...and I'm not ready for $700+ deck. Gotta save for 20" wheels next spring.
There is an AUX input on the Main head/controller for the Harmon/kardon but it still transmit through FM to the deck. All useless extra features. Got the car with this so thats why I'm living with it.

I have heard great things from these guys. $60 bucks and they will add a jack for you. They are very responsive to email as well.

I was looking into modding my Nak in my GS4 for an iPod aux jack. Will let you what I am able to do. Might have a different solution, but it will operate a bit differently.

Pretty close to what I was looking at. Figured I could get in there without such a complex relay setup, and then play a blank CD when I wanted the iPod....
If I get a circuit working that is transistorized can probably have it trigger a soft switch when the iPod is connected to it.
