I'm finally getting to buy a few things for my 2003!

One of the things I'm looking at is adding an iPod hookup.

I see there are 2 different brands offered. Is there a difference?
AUX2CAR vs Peripheral

Hummmm. In installed the Ipod2car connector and their wiring harness that they recommend. Besure to check out all the connectors you will need with the configuration you will be running. THe Ipod2car set up was very quick and easy.

Do a search for "Ipod". Cozmo is the resident expert and has been a big help with the install process. All the info you need is there including instructions on how to access your radio. Took me about 45 minutes from start to finish. I am a slow worker and needed a cup of coffee along the way. Good luck!

I purchased from EBAY. The install was easy cause I followed Toque's directions. Best of luck! This is a great mod!

Thanks guys guess I'll go with the Peripheral. Looks like i can get all the parts for about 120 to 130.

Been on the fence with the iPod verses just getting and AUX 3.5 stereo connection since I have a blackberry too but I like the thought putting it in the center console and using the radio to control it.

Bought a bunch of stuff today...trunk liner and a partition, Gas/dead pedals, and the window valet module.

Just need this and I was looking at the skid plate stiffeners. Then I'm broke for a little bit

Edit: I forgot I also bought and will be putting in the new head light gears this weekend too...tired of that grinding noise in the passenger side headlight...
