Default Apple I-pod installation

I have a 2001 convert with am-fm cd head unit and 12 disc cd changer. I'm interested in modifying to add an aux input to plug I-pod into.
Anyone ever do themselves or know of a kit? Any help would be appreciated.

Is this system stock, or aftermarket?

the only way for you to use your ipod with the stoch head unit is to go through you cd changer harness, there is a forum member that sells the adapter you need, creat a post in parts f/s and they will respond. the only other way is through an FM modulator, which sucks, horrible sound qulity.

most of them have rca inputs, you can just buy a two dollar adapter from Radio shack or any electronics store and plug into that

The FM modulator really does suck. I tried out mine for the first & last time today.

Default I-pod up and running

Well it took awhile but I got it done thanks to all the info I rec'd on the forum. I got the AUX-10 and it really plug and play. Just unhooked the CD changer and plugged it into the factory harness .
Only problem is I just found out PAC has an I-pod specific adaptor that allows controll from the head unit (just came out) . Guess I'll have to upgrade

It looks pretty cool, just need to find an online retailer and a price. Wonder if this can be used with an auxillary splitter so you can have the iPOD and cd changer.

With the i-pod you prob can ditch the changer altogether (less weight) and just tranfer music to the i-pod. 20 gigs is alot of tunes.
