Hi all,

Need some guidance from you all out there..

How much does it cost for Ipod connect to car player via Aux input ?

Where to get ? any idea ?

hahaha..
got several methods to do it.
1. get one of those FM transmitter... lousy ones frm CHina... good ones from brands like belkin n etc..
2. direct link to ur car AUX input via a multimedia/speaker cables (only a few RM)

I personally recommend getting those cassette adapter things..They're pretty good in terms of sound quality..

The FM transmitter things have two major problems ive found..
1) The cheaper, China ones, sometimes come with their own battery, which is great cause these suckers really take up the juice..
2) The fancier ones, from Belkin etc, dont have a battery, meaning they take the power from your iPod, and do they need power...
3) The sound quality can get quite bad..certain areas create problems with the transmission of the signal..

So yeah...i totally recommend the cassette adapter thing..

i agree with u on the FM transmitters.....i used mine once and it's now in the glove compartment....collecting dust....

the problem with the cassette adapter is, mot cars dont come with cassette players anymore...

And the cassette thingy might not work on some cars. I tried to put it in a BMW's cassette player but it wouldn't play for some reason.

Make sure you switch side for playing. That's what I've heard when using the cassette adapter.

I think long term, just get a cheap headunit that has Aux Input. A sony unit, is around RM290. single slot CD player and front Aux in.

AUX input is the best in terms of quality and price.... although if you need to upgrade your unit in the car it can get pricey... the next best alternative is the FM transmitter, but splurge on a quality one as the cheap ones are bad bad bad. belkin or "xtreme mac" are good ones.

I think Kenwood or Alpine's head units that offer an Ipod sync wire can be had for RM600 ish brand new. Search for a second hand one for a better price. I think this is the best solution, as you don't have to fiddle with your Ipod and control it from the HU. It can be quite dangerous to be playing around with radio frequencies on your cheap China thingamajig as I have unfortunately found out.

JVC KDG-365 i think comes iPod ready..Price is around RM399..do correct me if I'm wrong..
