All I need to do is plug my ipod into the white cable you see in my pic for crystal clear sound. The mini ipod sits very snug in a phone holder. I never use the CD player anymore.

bob^ Member 170 Member For: 21y 9d Location: Geelong Posted 04/10/04 08:44 AM Share Posted 04/10/04 08:44 AM (edited) Broadcast digitally?? What the. Your radio picks up analogue.edit - The only way they coudl broadcast digitally, is if you had something that plugs into the back of your headunit, in between it and the antenna, and even then it would need to be converted back to analogue before entering the headunit. The tuner has no form of DAC that could handle a digital broadcast. Edited 04/10/04 08:48 AM by bob^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are threads on here showing you how to do it yourself (mine cost about $10 in parts and about 45 mins) or you can get a Ford dealer to do for more$$Not sure about "prestige sound" and mine has the "premium sound" optionI found the instructions that I used - thanks to the author - Aaronlink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line levels are so much lower and songs have absolutely no bass at all. Then there is the engine whine through the music that is increased when you turn the volume up to hear the ipod.

JB Forum Superhero Donating Members 3,109 Member For: 20y 11m 17d Location: Eastern Suburbs of Mexico Posted 09/12/04 10:14 PM Share Posted 09/12/04 10:14 PM Mines hooked up, and it's great. You can put more than one input into your T, glovebox, centre console etc.I think the whine comes from how you wire it up, I rarely get it. The only real difference for me in the quality is that you have to turn the volume up on the ipod to full, then have you premium sound level on about 16 to get the normal volume of say 12.I'll take some pics and post them up when I get a chance. But for $20 odd bucks and 20 mins of your time, it's fantastic to have. BTW I was under the impression that you cannot get premium sound in the utes?

Just get one of those iPod FM modules and you're away. I have a Belkin unit, but a friend of mine said that the Apple FM module is far superiour, mainly because it utilizes the ipods battery/power. Quite good IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
