Another C5 stereo input question
Does the 2003 C5 stereo have an input jack? I'm thinking about purchasing an iPod and was wondering if it would be possible to jack it into the stock 2003 C5 stereo at all, possibly thru the CD changer input. I saw another post on the subject where someone suggested the use of something called a LogJam converter. Not a lot of info was included, so I thought I'd start a new post and see if anyone had more info to share.
I've seen a couple rf transmitters that can be attached to an iPod so that you can receive playback via the radio, but I would imagine a hard line into the stereo would be preferable.
In case you are wondering "why?", I abhore talk radio and am tired of dealing with changing CD's. Non-stop music, baby! Ahhh, technology!
:hurray:

Non stop music if fine, if you like the music they choose. I've tried both and prefer my CDs except for a rare change of pace now and then. I really do like access to the sport talk shows though :thumbs:

Re: Another C5 stereo input question (SoBayC5)
I asked the original question and came up with three hard-wire solutions from Logjam (logjamelectronics.com). The converter mentioned in the post, P.I.E. GM10-AUX Auxiliary Input Converter (http://www.pie.net/gm10_aux_inst.htm), $70, would have the IPOD plug in at the CD changer in the trunk, but would disable the changer. Factory radio must have CD-changer controls.
The P.I.E. Multi-source Auciliary Input Converter (http://logjamelectronics.com/piex3auxconv.html), costs about $100 with cable, and allows up to three inputs in addition to the CD changer.
The Soundgate SDS-1 "Docking Station" Multiple Auxiliary Converter (http://logjamelectronics.com/soundsds1.html), costs about $130 and also allows up to three inputs in addition to the CD changer.
Other restrictions apply. See websites for details.
