Z + iPod?
Anyone here use an iPod to store their music collections and how do you listen to it in your Z? I have a cassette adapter but the sound quality is horrible throught it. Maybe a wireless FM transmitter?
/sigh Z's the only Nissan without an audio input.

I've been using the TransPod myself. Although having a cord plugged in 1he 12V between the seats is kind of pain, it does keep it freshly charged. The FM reception is decent too.

Since I live in a place where there are too many radio stations, the wireless transmitter sucks for me. So I have a wired fm transmitter that works well for me, just a little low in volume. But it works great.

i use the iRock. it plugs into your iPod headphone jacks and you can set it to 1 of 3 or 4 different fm stations. it works pretty well in close proximity (ie: in your cup holder)

the iTrip sucks for me. its maybe halfway decent at best. im also waiting for the alpine HU. My radio reception isnt that great even when listening to regular stations. A cassette adapter will give you better sound quality than an FM transmitter will. An FM transmitter at its best will sound like the best FM station you have ever heard.

I've had my iPod for quite a while and I was originally using a cassette adapter until they released the iTrip. The cassette adapter had given decent output but I hated the wires everywhere along with the stock Bose headunit. Eventually I got the Bose headunit replaced at the dealership with a new one. Got rid of the muddy sound I was originally experiencing. Then I eventually got my iTrip through the mail after waiting like 6 months for the darn thing. After using the iTrip for a while I noticed that it never quite sounded as clear as the cassette adapter until I messed around with the equilizer settings on the iPod. I went into 'Settings' then 'Equalizer' and selected "Treble Booster". It's pretty much on par with the adapter now. Sounds pretty good.

maybe my antenna just sux, but the iTrip for me always has static, unless i listen to roc music which drowns it out. The upcoming alping HU plugs into the ipod with dock connector and displays artist name track num and can control the iPod.

Did I get ripped off or somethin?
I don't have a cassette player in my Z for some reason. I thought it was the same for all Z's when I noticed it but after I saw that pic, because I have an MD player that can also play in a car with a cassette thing. Is it because mine is the base model or somethin???Does anyone else have a base that doesn't come with cassette player?
