iPod to Car Stereo Adapter

RJVetter831 · September 29th, 2009, 07:51 PM

What kind of adapter do I need for my 2006 Ford Mustang Convertible V6 with a Shaker 500 system.

I want to be able to control my iPod through the Stereo Controls, I want the iPod to stay charged.

Please link me with some adapters!

I'm still considering the head unit, but I'm also looking at alternatives becasue the head units I'm looking at are too much money right now.

well you arent gonna be able to use steering wheel controls. youll need an FM transmitter

RJVetter831 · September 30th, 2009, 05:49 PM

I know, I don't have steering wheel controls. And how do the FM transmitters work? I have no idea...Does it charge the iPod? Can I use the stereo controls, or do I have to control it from the iPod?

plug them into the cig liter then the bottom of the ipod, itl charge the ipod and play music through the radio

volume works on the stereo but you have to pick the songs on your ipod

look at the new thread i started. theres a link on the write up that takes you to the company's site. if you search around in their products page you'll find some for the 05 up stereos

RJVetter831 · October 1st, 2009, 08:06 PM

Is it clear quality, just liek on my iPod?

mxnate116 · October 1st, 2009, 08:23 PM

somewhat, its staticy just like a normal radio station. i guess it depends on the quality of the transmitter. if you have at&t or t-mobile you could get interference from your phone, at least in my friends car that happens.

go with an interface. you'll pay a little bit more money but worth it in my opinion. the transmitters only work well for so long.

By new interface, you mean, Head Unit? I wanna semi cheap touch screen, with a VERY fast boot up time, I don't want nav either.
