Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio has anyone installed an Ipod into their car??

I plan to do this using Alpine's interface that connects it with Apline HUs. Im just curious if someone has done this, or other, and whatchya think...

im tired of carrying so many damned cds in my car and having them fall out of my cd visor thingie Shinobi style as I go screeching around corners its kinda funny actually but its not good for the cds.

so using an ipod im hoping i NEVER have to use cds in my car again! especially since my Alpine is starting to have issues reading discs. even brand new ones!

so anyone have any experience with this??


ps I sell Ipods on ebay and locally and wanted to do a GB but they said only contour-related items only.
so if anyone is interested in picking one up PM me. I will sell them to CEGers for an unofficial "GB" for $200 shipped! for Ipod mins. I have two pink, six silver, and seven blue! I also have one 40g photo ipod and some U2 editions. all brand new and sealed in the box

The only downside is you have to come up with some kind of craddle for the ipod. The unit is a hide away unit, and technically you could also hide your Ipod, but it doesnt come with any kind of mounting hardware.

just get and indash mp3 player and convert your cd's to mp3


for each 13 cd's you have you can convert to one


kinda like having a cd changer but with out the trouble



as far as the ipod go s theres a whole site devoted to it

can't remember the addrress







i know you like the ipod


but there is just so much more to offer in the other mp3 players like creative nomad zen

Not an ipod, but I have my Rio Karma hooked up in my car. I run it via RCAs to my AUX input on my HU.

I have alpine and a iPod in my car. I use a universal cell phone mount from Radio Shack.

Here is a photo of mine compliments of hetfield.
My image host was lost some time ago.

Also, search the forum for "ipod" you will find lots of good info.

I believe the site john is trying to think of is ipodlounge.com Its good stuff.

nope but close the one i was thinking of had is a company the installs ipods and lcd screens into alot of different cars

As soon as I buy my contour from the parents (march 21) Im going to get an alpine HU in it, and i think im going to do the RCA's I like my mount for my ipod, check out my car domain page. Looking to make something a little cleaner, but this will do for now. The alpine HU is a good idea if you dont have a nice place to mount, but i like using the ipod instead, being able to see all the songs, not 2 lines on the HU. just my 2 cents
