I've seen something called an aux-pod that supposedly allows a hook up of an ipod to the cd-changer input on the stock radio. I know I lose my changer but has anyone used this type of setup? If so, do you like it and where did you buy it? I know the simple solution would be to get an aftermarket radio that would allow for RCA inputs but this is for my "conservative" daily driver Durango and I don't want to get bit by the audio bug on this car. I have the Mustang for that sort of stuff. Thanks everyone.

doesnt the ipod allow you to just tune to 88.7 FM (or something like that) on your car radio and allow it to play the songs from the ipod?

Click to expand...

im not sure if the ipod comes "stock" with this, but they sell adapters that go into your headphone jack, then transmitts a signal to your FM radio. i bought one for my Rio Riot, best thing i could have gotten. no sound quiality seems to be lost either. i think belkin makes a great one, that says its for the dell unit, but will work with any audio player
this may be alot easier then trying to hook it in directly?

You are talking about the iTrip by Griffin Technology. You click it on your iPod and set the iPod to broadcast on a specific frequency--they give you everthing from 88.7 to 107.something, so you can find a clear one. It works pretty well.
