It costs just over $100 for me to build it.Let me know if ya interested and ill give you more info.

Using winamp to play all my music. Is this possible?Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8388-apple-ipod-thread-merged-topic/page/12/#findComment-309390 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a small preamp in it to boost the signal before it gets to your head unit.Chris Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8388-apple-ipod-thread-merged-topic/page/12/#findComment-309607 Share on other sites More sharing options...

igsta Member 371 Member For: 21y 6m 5d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 30/10/05 09:19 AM Share Posted 30/10/05 09:19 AM I have the Belkin gizmo that plugs into your 12v outlet. It has a small amp to boost the signal. I dont have any whine at all. Mine is prestige sound not premium, could have something to do with it or maybe the path the aux cable is run. I actually bought a female cigarete socket and hooked it up and hid it in behind the dash. All I have is 1 cable ready to plug into the ipod when I want.

rdomain Member 98 Member For: 19y 11m 9d Posted 30/10/05 12:16 PM Share Posted 30/10/05 12:16 PM I had the hum/noise issue but I took it back to Ford under warranty and they fixed it. Something about making a more solid/larger connection. The ipods do run softer but I tend to get plenty of volume out of it (I do have to to crank the head unit though) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8388-apple-ipod-thread-merged-topic/page/12/#findComment-309985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
