Got some questions on an iPod adapter...

Eli · 12-16-2009, 12:04 PM

Does anybody know the part number for an iPod adapter?

I've got the nav and satellite radio but my car didn't come with the adapter.

Is the unit plug and play? Anybody know how much it should cost to install one?

Thanks for any help!

you need the factory option for ipod to use the adaptor or you have to retrofit a usb input. It's ridiculously expensive to add one later through a dealership mainly cuz the labor cost is so silly high. you can do it yourself, look into the DIY section or go to a place that specializes in this stuff like EAS in santa ana.

I think this would would without the USB retrofit wouldn't it? It uses the CD jack and is $280.
