[G5] iPod accessories

[Snow White]

Jerry:

By far the best connection to your radio is a direct connection 
involving a wire.  I have a stereo that will accept a mini-plug in from 
CD (or my ipod) and the MiniVan has to use the tape insert.  Both work 
equally well - perfectly.

The itrip is very good if you go somewhere else and want to broadcast 
to someones radio.  itrip works better without movement (stationary 
even) as when crossing a city there are spots with interference on your 
frequency from time to time.  When I go to the cottage I can broadcast 
into the portable immediately as it has no way to input Via plug or 
cassette.

The last piece of advise I must give - Get a power charge thingy for 
the car with the mini-plug output on it with a volume control (griffins 
car charger).  I found after using this that all the wires are hooked 
to the dash and only one need connect to the ipod - as opposed to two.  
This "feature" makes in much easier to manipulate the ipod in the car 
and also only one connection to break to remove (like every time you 
get out of the vehicle).  Remenmber, if someone sees an ipod 'sans 
personne' it is probably gone when you come back, or turn arround 
again.
