ipods in the car - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #27164 13 posts Started by celicarocker
well i finally have a system in my car again (got stolen last november), and i have my ipod hooked into my aux input on my HU... i drilled a whole in that little pocket below the heater controls, and ran the cable up through that... my ipod just chills laying down pressed up against the arm rest... kinda want a different setup cuz i dont like the wire going around my shifter... how do you people have this setup?
i have mine clipped to the driver side visor. So i can look up and change the volume and songs.
or buy the dension ice link and mount. that way you can control volume and songs with your head unit, instead of fiddling with you ipod.

While I'm only using a tape adapter right now, I just lay mine down on the center console right on top of the ash tray cover. I have the rubber cover though, so it doesn't slide anywhere.
Wut you can do is run the wire thru the center console and remove the ashtray tray and drill a small hole in the walla of it so the wire could enter thru there and the ipod fits perfectly snuggled in the ashtray location (as long as the tray is out) and it looks flushed and nice )i did this)

I thought about that, but my ash tray is my coin holder!!

What I'm going to do when I get a new head unit is bring the wire forward through the little slot under the CD Player so I can just slide the iPod in there. Oh yeah, I'll have an iPod ready head unit too, so I won't need immediate access to the iPod itself.
i jus got an 20gb ipod for graduting from my cousins.. how much it run to hook it up to my deck.. and my deck is ipod ready or w/e
yeah i've also removed my ashtray and packed up underneath. It is the perfect size for the ipod and being recessed into the console stops it from moving around. Really happy with it in that position.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Will my stock headunit (10640-34 Type 2) have RCA inputs? I would like to connect my ipod using a Nyko iPod stereo Link. As it's neat & simple, offers a better sound quality,and it's cheap.
