Hi 'Ford powa',

Too late I know, but I run my 80gb classic ipod through my premium sound system ( BF ) using a cable I purchased through ebay.

This cable set me back $45. Complete idiot proof instructions and pics. Two connections at the rear of the main fuse panel, run the cable to the lower tray in the consol. Connect the 32pin ( as per apple ) to the ipod base and hey presto, all is good. Sound quality is brilliant. All sound adjustment is through main car volume control and this cable charges your ipod at the same time. Have been using it for several months now without dramas.

A mate has the genuine Ford item ( more than twice the price ). There is no difference in output volume or quality between the 2 units.

Ebay might suck in some areas BUT not all purchases are crap.

Cheers

I got the $90 one off ebay that had free postage.

Quality is brilliant... but only when the engine isnt running...

I still get that really really annoying engine whine when the engine is running...

Its worse than the whine I had coming from the 25 dollar ebay cable I brought a few months back...

Any fixes without me having to buy another cable cos its sh*tting me to no end...

pretty sure that's the one I already got..??

FORD MP3 IPOD IN CAR KIT WITH CABLE GENUINE - eBay, Other Car Parts, Accessories, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 14-Jan-10 00:46:11 AEDST)

not to worry thou... I worked out why its being a bastard...

I cut the REM wire from the mobile phone jack to connect it up to an aftermarket amp a few months back... I can only assume that's my problem... (I cant re-connect this wire, I assume I'd never need the rem wire again so I doubt ill be able to reconnect it with how short I cut the wire away from the socket..)
