how do those tuner adaptors work? are they clear, i have heard mixed reivews.......

 

I got one of those cup holder things that holds my ipod. It came with 3 different size holders for different cars and a foam sleeve that fits around them for a good fit. I opted for the ipod radio and the cord fits just fine when it is in its cradel. I think that it would work well for the FM modulator.

i got a transpod fm transmeter and it works ok its not as good as a cd but i like it

 

I have an iPod2Car connected to the stock headunit with my iPod resting in an iSqueez.

 

I am actually using a Belkin FM transmitter for my Ipod... I got my Ipod and transmitter free from www.scionboost.com just for buying an Xb. Maybe someday I can get the Ipod2Car adapter.

 

I had a Monster iCarPlay x-mitter. They are ok. Barely. Here in L.A., there is a lot of interference as the adapter only allows a few freqs. I would not do it again.

On topic, with the '06 iPod HU, my 3G/20gb pod lives full time by the jack under the front seat. Only comes out for updates.

 

Hey roydog,
What is this BOOST that you are talking about?
I checked out the link and is it for the 2005's only?
Thanks,

 

i got a mini. it hangs out in the little shelf to the right of the steering wheel. fits perfect.

 

clean yer damn carpets

 

when i bought my xb they only had the 2005's in stock... After a couple of weeks I got contacted by Scionboost and they said I could pick any of those gifts. I decided to get the Ipod which was the perfect gift for me.

 

I have my ipod mini resting like the first picture in this topic. It's held by a Griffin iSqueeze. Connected to the USA-SPEC Aux Interface which is connected to my stock head unit.

 

Mine sits in the glovebox in the left compartment thingy. We had the iMonster but when we replaced the HU, we opted for the cable to connect to the back of the HU. Well, worth it...we never touch it unless we take it out for updating.

We had the iMonster that you could manually change the channels, but going through the tunnel on I-93 in Boston, it would cut out. I don't know if it uses existing towers (local radio station towers) or not but all the 'sales people' say the signal goes straight from the transmitter to the radio...but if that was the case, it wouldn't lose reception when the local stations do...like in a tunnel.

 

 

i want to get one of these things:

but i dont know where in my xb i could put the control ****; the screen i would mount above the idiot lights i think.

anyone have one of these, and put the **** somewhere convenient?

 

darth, i'm thinking of the same thing...and icant seem to find anywhere to put the control **** either.
too bad, it's such a cool product too.
and for $200, it's a steal

 

its ironic that such a boxy car has no flat surfaces large enough in a convenient spot to mount that control ****.
i guess i could look into some custom fab something, but that sounds expensive.
something to think about

 

I have the 06 ipod radio and I don't need access to the ipod to control the songs being played, so I have it laying sideways in that long groove next tothe e-brake handle. I can't use any of the cubbies or the isqueeze that came with my box because of the cable.

 

I was showing this to a friend of mine, and he suggested using the AC Fan control **** space for the wheel control, and make a custom fan **** to sit behind it, so i can use both. if that makes sense.

 

Proclip makes good mounts for $30...but I dont want to pay for em...
I have a Dension Ice>Link Plus... and its got that huge cradle dock thingy...so it wont fit in an isqueeze or tune doc or whatever...

I just ran the cable down to the lowest storage place on the xa console and keep it in a cupholder when im not using it...
i set the backlight to "always on" (you can turn it off by holding menu down) and that way at least i know what song is playing
