aux hook ups

[goldie]

is there an easy way to hook up an auxiliary cable to my stock m3 stereo ( ipod),, thanx

What functionality do you want out of it? Do you just want an audio input, or do you want integration with the stereo controls?

aux input

^^^ why thank you. Mostly I just copied stuff from multiple locations and tried to put it all in the same place.

Incidentally I have the AuxMod basic and use my palm pilot to play Mp3's. Works perfectly. Of course I don't have the need to integrate an ipod so the choices were a little easier for me.

Like FrolessWonder said they'll come back in stock. They have a hard time with a consistant supply of the connector that plugs into the HU. Once they get those in they start running through the wait list pretty quickly.

Thanks for the sticky jersey_emt. I take it you're an EMT in Jersey?
