Can somebody help me with my situation?

I brought a 2004 acura tl half a month ago. When I got it, its navigation parts did not work, but the CD and radio parts is fine. However, after my stupid mistake, one jump start, the CD and radio parts did not work either. I go to dealers place and they told me it will take a lot of money if I fix it there. I really can not afford a car without audio. But this car is good expert this.

So can somebody tell me how to connect my ipod directly to the loudspeaker in my car? Is this possible? Or I have to replace all the parts of the navigation and the radio and CD parts.

Really thank you if someone help me, I am in a mess how to fix it.

You cannot connect your ipod directly to the speakers. The speakers need an amplified signal which the ipod cannot supply. You will need to fix your radio or get another. Most time these things (depending on the situation) can be fixed. Can you give more details on what is wrong with your radio and the navi?

Check ebay or the junk yards for replacement radios. I've seen them as low as $170.00.

I agree with King. A cursory search yields nothing so far, but keep checking back on eBay, or even Craigslist.

I took my radio out and took it to a radio repair guy that the Acura dealer used. I spent $150 diagnostic fee to determine what is wrong and how much to fix it. The DVD changer is trashed and it will be $700 to fix. No Way!! So I got one from a local junk yard for $250. I have not put it in yet to see if it all works. The 04 model 1TB0 is very hard to find.
