Need Suggestions ... Head Unit with Audio Inputs for Ipod on face

[JiMb0]

As the topic states, just after a headunit with audio inputs on the front for an Ipod setup in car ..... any ideas ?

auxillary in.

my jvc HU has it at the front.

my Aiwa CDC-MP3/WMA-2 (One of the first large scale production car MP3 players made in the world, has a stealth face which turns itself inside out to a blank black face to match your interior, and only available in the US, basically imported it to AUS) has a stereo jack input for AUX on the front. You could get one of them form the US if you you'r real desperate. I just had to be one of the first kids on the block with an MP3 player int he car (back in 2001) plus I didn't want the hassle of carrying a stereo face.

Most chinese generic stereo's these days have AUX inputs on the front.

If not get a mad quality stereo, then drill 2 holes in the side of your center console (right under your passenger side glove box) and go to jaycar n get 2 RCA female mounts, then wire them to the aux inputs of the stereo. It'll lok nice n clean and you can plug it in n it won't get in the way of the gearshift n stuff. Oh and it won't look ugly on the front of your screen.

Hmmm, so far the other suggestions I've had were both JVC or Aiwa, dont much think the JVC's look too hot tho, how are the Aiwa's ?

I guess I wish Alpine would come out with something nice liek this

You can still get an Alpine (i have a 7893B and am intending to use the rear AUX input and have a pair of RCA's feeding in from the back to a stereo plug to the ipod - (havent done it yet)

yeah you can use any stereo with AUX inputs at the back, just get a cable and drill 2 holes make a flush mount on the passenger side (where the feet are) for the plugs, and then when you need to plug in your Ipod, just plug em into those.

Its sort of like a hard mounted extension.

I would recommend the JVC also.

But yeah, you could use any HU with rear AUX, just run some leads.

Could be a bit fiddly if its not close enough to use though. eg on the passenger side.

Does your Ipod have a remote??
