My roommate left me his old first gen 20gb iPod (it's a beast). I'm never gonna use it where I go, like in my pocket, so I want to use it in my car. What is the easiest way to connect an iPod to my 02 TL-S?

Can I just bring it to like Best Buy and have them install something to connect it to the stock radio? I DO NOT want to install an aftermarket head unit, because of the Bose system thats already in there of course.

 

same problem, i have been using a cassette in the meantime, its not the best but it gets the job done. however i am gonna change my stock head unit soon and have the ipod directly connected to the car

 

search man, this is covered on a weekly basis.

there are many things you can buy that plug into your stock bose headunit to play your ipod.

 

i just ordered the blitzsafe adapter.. it was like $65..

there USAspec is around $130

 

Got the USApec, works great. I believe it was $99 or $150 can't remember actually.

Works flawlessly. i'd recommend it.

 

I've read good things about both the USAspec and the Blitzsafe.

I hooked up a Blitzsafe adapter to the OEM head unit in my TL and it works great with my 20 GB iPod.

 

Before you buy any of these units make sure they're compatible witht he first generation ipod, unless you just get a unit that plugs into the headphone jack, like this one:

And in case you didn't know, you don't need to remove the radio to install the blitzsafe. Just remove the passenger side wood panel and then the knee panel. That gives you enough room to reach behind the radio and, with a little patience, connect the blue connector to the back of the radio.

Alright, so i can go with the Blitzsafe or the USASpec. I'm on their sites, but which recievers do I need? Which one is compatible with my 02 TL?

 

I want to do something similar, but I'd rather connect with a Zune. Anyone recommend a good product to do that with?

 

I got the Isimple from best buy and it works great.

Its cheaper than the USA one but still allows you to use your steering wheel controls on the Ipod.

 

Im going to try and buy a 4th gen iPod 20gb for like $20 So i can buy the Blitzsafe to install in my TL.

 

If you're interested I have a BlitzsafeHON / M-LINK1 DMX V.1. It'll work with your 02 TL and is compatile with the 4G iPod.

I used it for about 3 weeks before I installed the Kenwood stereo I have now. If you're interested let me know.

 

Yeah, most of the ones mentioned here will work. You need to get a unit like this:

Then get a cable like this:

and connect the red/white to the unit, and then the stereo plug goes to your zune's headphone jack.

 

Soria, I sent you a PM.

 

Sweet! Thanks for the info.
