Ipod Car Adapter: Plug n Play

It's just an FM modulator...there are numerous shapes and sizes. nothing new.

You won't get better than radio quality. If there's a station near the same frequency that your using, you'll have to make adjustments... acceptable for some, but I wouldn't ever use one.

For less than the price of that you can get a blitzsafe which supposedly has awesome sound quality. I just ordered one, I'll let you know how it turns out.

blitzsafe's the shit.

no worries of sound, cause it hooks straight to our headunit. it's basically adding another "cd player",

the blitzsafe hooks into the port where your stock cd-changer would go (if you ordered one from acura) so i do'nt know why people would doubt the sound quality.


just remember to buy the monster cable at radioshack to be able to hook it into your ipod.

Logjam now sells a blitzsafe that is made specifially for the ipod, that's the one I got. It comes with the ipod cable:

This one is great because it hooks to the bottom and will allow me to attach the ipod remote to the top.

I just picked up two (one for my TL-S, and one for my Odyssey)...

I have the TL-S one hooked up, and it sounds great...

One hint: If, after your installation, all your connections look good, but you don't get any sound output from the iPod (I have a nano), try updating the firmware... I hooked mine up and everything "appeared" to work...but no sound...

The nano firmware is only at 1.0, so although I couldn't "update" it, I did reset the firmware back to default...and surprisingly...it worked!!!
