In my ’04 Touring I have the satellite ready unit so I wanted to hookup my Ipod Mini to it. Probably the more difficult way, but in getting better sound I noticed that the PAC AAI-NIS will allow a direct hookup into the radio. I’d rather do this than have an FM transmitter. But do I need this piece in the first place or can I hook the Ipod directly to the radio without getting the PAC? I noticed that the PAC allows you to split to up to 2 devices on the satellite channels, but am really only interested in just the Ipod Mini.

Also, what would I need to purchase on the Apple side to get the Ipod to play? Meaning how does it hook into the PAC unit?

Much thanks for any info!

 

wondering the same exact thing as well....

 

The AAI-NIS is the best way to hook up your ipod. You could just get a cable that has RCA's on one side for the PAC and a stereo jack on the other side for the IPOD (i.e Headphone Jack). I'll be installing the PAC for my in car PC so I can play MP3's directly from the PC and use the other PAC AUX line for my XM MyFi.

 

that's excellent.. thanks for the help.
