New User here (great forums!) and I wanted to know if anybody has been able to directly wire their Micorsoft Zune to an 05 RL with Navi. I believe the jack is the same as the Ipod, so does that mean the dealer could install the jack retrograde for MP3 players?

Before you ask, I like the Zune over the Ipod for screen size, price, ease of use the MSOS and cheaper extended warranty.

 

Wow... somebody actually bought one of those.

 

Yeah and its just as easy to use as an iPod (I replaced my iPod after the battery died for the second time), is a$100 cheaper, has a bigger sreen and better warranty.

 

I just got a Zune also. Much better than the Ipod and it imports all of the music you have on your computer right out of the box. Thirty Gig at Circut City was 199.95

 

I cannot tell if the Zune has the same ipod plug, though I would guess not since these types of plugs are generally proprietary. Ever try to dock a Dell Laptop in an HP dock?

However, all have the obligatory 1/4 inch (3.5mm) headphone jack. There are several hardwire solutions for that. You plug the hardwire unit into the back of the head unit and it goes into a box which has RCA L and R outs. Plug a RCA to 3.5 mm stereo (make sure of that) and you have your connection.

For example, USASpec has an iPod connector plus and aux out or just aux out adaptors
