ipod through standard head unit (ss model)

[tysonsvyss]

gday guys.

i have seen aftermarket head units (apline/clarion) that have a lead out of them for you to plug your ipod or similar music player directly into the unit. so you get great quality as opposed to an i trip of fm transmitter

is there anyway at all to do similar with the stock head unit.

In short no. I use an RF transmitter and it is fine. Just make sure when you rip the music that your pc is set to store it at the highest bit rate MP3. Then it will be cd quality.

If your Ipod can play Ogg Vorbis files then it will give you a better sound quality.

Phreddy does auxillary input kits for the standard VY head unit. He's done it in mine. I'm SURE this will accept an Ipod.

Send him a PM or check out the ASR section of this forum for more info...

go buy a alipine head unit with ipod controller and install it yourself very simple and sound quality will be alot better than using the standard deck.

I took my standard head unit out replaced with alpine head unit with ipod and it sounds great and i can still put my original head deck back in if i want too.

they are a different sound file format, they have the extension *.ogg you can get converter's which will convert mp3's to ogg's.

As far as I understand, Phreddy's mod puts your iPod sound in just before the amplifier process, so it should be just as high quality as a CD played on the head unit. The sampling rate of your MP3's will be the limiting factor. You can just have a 3.5mm (headphone style) stereo jack in your console or dash to plug into.
