that's actually a really good idea! anybody know of a good tape adapter for it? FM is out of the question! I was thinking of Belkin.

There's a link in the GS 3rd generation forums for the Nano ipod interface that intergrates into your headunit (SLI adapter ) I think it's only for Toyota/Lexus vehicles from 01 to 06, they may have something for the earlier models.

Read somewhere that there is an adapter that plugs Ipods direct to an RCA amplifier input. Not sure if the Nac amps have RCAs. Hope this helps....

Default Direct connection to SC

Come on guys,
There should be a solution for this for SC model with using OEM stereo.

I am currently using iPod with tape adapter. Sound is fine (80% satisfied), better than FM module, but tape deck motor is always running. It eject the tape sometimes. Wire is hanging around the tape deck.

I read that some guy high jacked the wire between CD player in the trunk and Headunit and made direct connection, but not enough detailed information.

Any body?

anyone tried this one? hooks in to the factory radio and lets you use the steering wheel controls to control your iPod.
