Default Getting Ipod to Play Through Car

Hey all
I'm sure this has been asked many times before but the search I did returned nothing of use. If you know of another thread like this, feel free to direct me to it. Anyway...

I have an 03 LS430 and have been playing my mini through the car with the iTrip. Quite frankly, the quality is horrible. I can't stand it anymore. I just bought a new iTouch yesterday and want something that will allow me to play it through the car with good quality. Does anyone know of anything that will allow me to do this? I don't want to spend a ton of money here, as I'm a broke 16 year old. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks a lot in advance.

"a broke 16 year old" with an 03 LS430? That's a hoot! Since you are going to be dropping the not-so-occasional $1,000+ on repair and service, I assume you can afford to spend at least a couple hundred dollars on an iPod adapter. A number of companies make them including VAIS: http://www.vaistech.com

We make a kit for that car that works great. The Lexus kit that we have will display the text information on the radio display for you as long as your radio does support it. The radio will have the full controls of the iPod being able to brows through all of your playlist, artiest and albums.

Our kit also does support the new 5 Volt USB Charging system for all of the newer iPod models. Our kit is $169.99, and is very easy to install.

i made this because there wasnt anything like the DICE or VAISTech systems available for the models i work on. if there was, i'd gladly fork over $100-200 for a fully integrated plug-n-play solution
