Default 2006 iPod radio unit in a 2005.. is it doable?

What other options exist other than buying a 2006?

Thanks!

1) i guess u could buy a 2006 stero head unit, but why?

2) use a radio reciever. reccomend one that you plug in to the ciggerette outlet. otherwise static will plague u!

3) save up some dough and get a new head unit! im tryin for that... but do what is practical! if you are only gonna use it sometimes, go with the transmitter. if your planning on uping ur stereo, go wtih the head unit!

get an aftermarket pioneer or alpine. both can hook up to an ipod. the alpine u ave to control the ipod through the deck (total pain no matter wat deck you use) or the pioneer you still control it via the ipod itself. they both charge while playing.


just about any aftermarket deck will be better than stock
