iPOD
Do you know if there is a possibility to link an iPOD system from Apple to our SL500 audio system ? Did somebody tried this ?
If it is possible then this would be a huge improvement versus this CD charger proposed by MB

ITrip is the way to go. I use my Ipod every day and play it back through Itrip. Itrip is a small transmitter that plays back through the car stereo system. Works great. The Ipod fits into the ash-tray.

Either way, the radio emulation never comes close to a straight audio connection...

Sorry you do not get such good reception Wolfman. I am in Northern VA and use 87.9. There seems to be no station on that wave length so I have no complaints. I even use that setting to play my iPod though my home stereo. Works great.
