I've read the Aux-in Sticky, I've heard of others doing it, but I would like a comprehensive list of EVERYTHING I need to wire my iPod Mini and an XM Commander to work in my car, with Navigation. Here is my understanding of how it should go together:

XM Commander-->Switch(a)-->GLI-->Line Driver-->SNHOND3 w/ extra Honda part added for Nav--> Stereo

also, at (a), should be iPod--> Monster iPod charger cable-->3.5" to RCA cable--> Switch.

do I need 2 line drivers, 1 each on the iPod and Commander, before they get to the switch?

What should this all cost, roughly?

Can anyone suggest a switch I could use? I need it to mount CLEANLY and UNOBTRUSIVELY. The massive monster that RadioShack wanted to sell me need not apply. Can I get a custon built one? Can my local Tweeter do that?

Where are the best brands to use, aside from the brand items already listed?

Thanks for the help, I need this before the end of June, when I set out on my 15 hour trek to Georgia.



Oh, and lastly, has anyone used the stock Accord XM antenna, rather than the one that comes with the commander? Do they have a color that will match my milano red TSX? Could I get it repainted? Does it require drilling, because that's unacceptable.

 

The guy that does DVD installs (name starts with v) should be able to help. Do a search for DVD.
