I have an 03 touring with bose radio but not sat ready. Whats the best way to hook up an Ipod?

 

new head unit, then hook up the Ipod to aux inputs or get a HU with ipod compatibelity and get the adaptor thingy

 

Alpine

 

I want to keep the stock head unit. I searched and all I could find on stock HU said your radio had to say "RADIO" mine says "AM/FM"

 

How much money do you have?

I was in the same boat only I have an 04 enthusiast without the bose system. I've already spent $1629.49 and I'm not done yet. I'm also doing all the work myself, so there is no installation cost for labor.

I could have done it cheaper and skipped the sound deadening, skipped the sub and additional amp, gone with cheaper door speakers installed in the stock location, gone with a head unit that doesn't have a flip out touchscreen, but I wanted to do something "nice" for myself. Plus I was bored.

Otherwise get a FM modulator to hook up to your antenna on you head unit. Harmon Kardon makes a nice one: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-gLfWQM6...771&I=108DP1US on sale for 99 bucks

 

its going to be cheaper getting a new HU... I think just lack of information and not knowing keeps people scared and worried about geting a new HU

 

This is the best way: iPod interface for 350z with bose system

I have a 2003 touring with stock bose and it works perfectly.

 

I like the FM modulator that plugs into the cigarette lighter. This one is for the ipod and connects to the dock plug on the bottom. What I did is hardwire it and run the wire into the center console under the coin holder. This way it is out of the way and easy to reach. Thing that stinks about the radio hook up is it isn't nearly as easy to find a song as it is on the ipod itself.

 

tape deck adapter? thats what i use and for the price you cant beat it. I guess its not pimp enough but I listen to my ipod in my car 2hrs a day usually on full blast and its damn good enough for me

 

you say it is the cheaper way but ive heard many rumors that the bose system will ONLY work with the bose HU and to replace the HU you would need a whole new system? whats teh deal with this?
