Are you trying to plug your ipod into your factory radio?

Well you have an alpine headunit.... Hence why it is only $15 dollars. He has a stock radio therefore he would have to get a USA Spec iPod Interface cable and converter.

To answer your question if they can make an Ipod work with your stock radio(if you have a non-bose) for only $85 is a good price. The only other alternative to make a Ipod connect to your stock non-bose head unit would be to buy the USA Spec Ipod Interface cable.

never tried on a stock unit but ask the audio store if an Iplug will hook up to the stock unit...its by for the clearest sounding and easiest to use..if it works it will be real cheap

If your primary concern is cheap and you have a factory head unit, you should consider a WIRED fm modulator/transmitter and an powered iPod to RCA cable. It will allow you to charge your iPod if the car is on or not. I like it better than a wireless fm transmitter because it feeds the audio signal to the radio through the antenna which gives better quality.

You will not be able to control the iPod through the head unit, but with such a small display screen on the H/U navigating from there is very difficult anyway.

Look for something like this:

I looked on the site for the USA Spec Ipod Interface cable and it says it will work for 2004-07 350zs... not sure it its a typo or something but does it work for the 03' model???
