Any iPod integration solutions here?
Has anyone done any iPod installations on their CL500? I am looking for some kind of solution (tape adapter didnt work). Wireless FM Modulator may not be great in NYC.

Tape adapter works fine
I'm currently using the tape adapter as its the most cost effective MP3 solution out there... I'm using a Philips adapter cause the wire is really thin. and i store the player in the armrest storage with the LCD remote outside to access the music.


Works quite well..

sorry to burst your bubble, and i hope i'm reading wrong but i dont think that unit will work in your CL500, that unit is made to work in 2003 and up models with teh MOST unit, you have a Command Unit in your car.

Don't you have an AUX / mini-jack input in your glove box? This works nicely with any iPod model. It's a cheap but effective installation.

Cheers,

no, it was available on the 03 and up models, i know i have it in my car, still have to upload songs on my ipod before i can use it, but its their



the question i want answered is, doesent it Suck to have to reach into the glove box to change the songs and such on the MP3 player?

has anyone tried or thought about doing this... i did it in my Dodge intrepid which was way easier since its just a dodge lol. i ran the monstercable for my ipod from the back of my headunit(aftermarket aux input) and ran it under my dash and up throu the armrest, so i can axcess my ipod anytime i wanted with ease


any thought into that?

iPod integration
check out the Dension product offerings. They claim to offer full integration with steering wheel controls and COMAND interface.
