Is an ipod hookup possible?
How's it going gents?
So, another question coming your way...Is there a way to get an ipod (or USB) hookup without changing out the original radio? I've used one of the set ups that plug into the car's lighter, and set to a certain frequency, playing the ipod through that station, but those are way too static-y. Is there a better, not overly expensive (<$250) solution?

He is a vendor here and will help you.
Other than that I don't know myself unless you have a cassette, then you can get one of those thingies that use the cassette and then plug into your ipod. Not the best but doable. I have one in my STS and it's "OK"

I've had mine for about 5 years now and still love it. No more CD's sliding around, none falling on your lap from the visor, just 1376 songs at your finger tips.

We shipped out over 200 PXDP and PXDX kits last month alone and not a single issue and for you to have 2 that dont work tells me you did have it connected correctly.

odds are if you have no changer you have no harness and would need to connect to the back of the radio using the options I listed

My car has no changer and the stock radio has an AUX button to control the ipod. The radio controls will work to forward/reverse the track. just put the ipod on shuffle and leave it in the glovebox or center console and forget about it.

you have VERY limited controls with the radio. forward and reverse and thats about it. This unit will also charge the ipod as well.
You are mixing technology from early 90's with todays ipods. The pxdp will allow the ipod to connect through the stock system, charge and some controls yes.

CD changer will not work as if you do have one and use the connection for back of radio you have to disconnect it there too
