got an ipod for christmas and was just wondering if there was anyway to hard wire it to my radio or even if there is inputs in the back before i take out the dash. thanks.

 

i just installed and audiovox wired Fm Modulator on the back of my Factory unit. Easy to install and damn near cd queality sound. Check it out, they sell them at circuit city for 50 bucks.

Yeah, that is the closest your gonna get to a hard wire job with factory H/U

 

Depending on what brand of H/U you have, you can get one of these..

It's great, I had one with my H/U and it was great. You can control functions right on the head unit.

 

Heres the link for the modulator at circuit city.

I have an idea, and need some feedback. THe HHR factory radio has an ipod plug in in the radio face. Could the HHR factory radio be swapped out. I am looking to keep the factory look.

 

Nope, Unfortunately, The Cobalt H/U, And the HHR H/U, are VIN Secured. No swaps there....

 

Dude u can head to your local Electronics shop, Best Buy etc.. and u can pick up an itrip for i think 30-60$ wherever u live and u just plug it into your ipod and it plays through your radio, its really cool alright pce

 

I have one of those but depending on where you live they can suck. Its nice when i'm out of the city, but when i'm in the city and most of the stations are taken up by real stations they can sound like crap. A lot of the colleges (Boston is a huge college town) Takes up most of the "pre-set" stations for the iTrip, Monster, etc. But if you live in an area where say 88.1 isnt taken up by a station its a great short term solution.


I do have a question though. If i dont have XM, shouldnt there be some type of extra "port" or something in the radio? Couldnt an aux port or something be set up from that?

 

i recomend going through cartoys if your not installing it yourself. Bestbuy and Circuit City do less than average installs(no offense). Plus yall can come say hi to me when your up here

 

so how exactly do you install the audiovox modulator? because my itrip as of now is taking a crap on me. the quality is horrible. just wanted to know, because i'll probably install it myself.

 

yeah man, i have a DLO transpod, and it's cool and all, but the quality sucks! ive got a new ipod with radio sound! i really would like cd quality, what can give me that?

 

There is really no way to put a ipod hardwired any cobalt radio. It's sucks but yeah I would just get a new radio like alpine and get there ipod interface.
