Factory Monsoon Deck + iPod?
Factory Monsoon Deck + iPod? Hey guys, was wondering if anyone has integrated their iPod into their factory Monsoon deck? If so can you post pics and tell me how? Want to keep the factory deck in there to keep the interior close to original. Thanks guys!

I honestly think I seen where a couple people have done this. I wouldn't know exactly how to do it since my car had the freaking Cassette player in it when I got it cause some older couple bought the car new at the time and so the Cassette player got swapped out about a week later in favor for a CD player. I'm wanting to think there is a How-To thread someone on here for that though.
I use an iSimple iPod kit. It plugs in where the CD changer normally would so you lose the CD changer function. I believe you need a 2000+ Monsoon HU, though. Now I can play music through the speakers while charging my iPhone.

^ this X10, easy to install and gives you the best control, instead of using an fm transmitter the i simple makes it so the sound quality is near cd. basically have to choose weather you want to do the actual ipod connection OR aux.

I did it... twice in fact. Got the PAC adapter the first time but it doesn't work if you don't have the factory CD changer, but if you do it allows you to still use it. The one I settled on is made by PIE and works without the factory CD changer. Both cost under $50 and took less than 10min to install. Well worth it to get a little extra life out of my stock system.
