Dust Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Hello, most of the latest audio cd decks have an ipod port build in. You can do more research to see what you like and what best fits you here. Just an example of a cd deck that has that feature. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1099388650551 *Compatible with iPod, iPod mini or iPod photo with dock connector. KCA-420i Adapter (not included) required; requires iPod software, 2.2 or higher or iPod mini software, 1.1 or higher, available at Apple.com Note: Not compatible with iPod shuffle, http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1108124556353 You will need that adapter most likely if you choose to use your old cd audio deck for your car. Lexus audio system is usually Lexus factory made, so I think your going to have to look into your lexus dealer to see if they can give you a special port for the ipod. What I did was I removed the front audio cd/tape system, rewired the front dashboard and put on a brand new cd deck. The sound is crystal clear by the way, and its the best way to listen to your music. Just think about never burning another cd. EVER. :D Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razahyde Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 thanks for the quick reply dust but i dont want to put a new deck in my car that will cost to much and i have no use for that im just ooiking for a way to get good sound quality in my car from my ipod but not spending over $60 doing so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-hedge Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Khalid The tape deck thingy is probably the best thing if you must stay under $60. The sound quality will suffer. If you want good audio quality AND want to keep the original radio, try this site. I Have not yet installed one, but plan to and will post my opinion when complete. Search the club site for Satellite Radio for related discussion.

ECUPirate Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Ever wonder why the ipod mini was about the size of a cassette? Stick it in your cassette deck and find out! That's what I call creative engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake918 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 One of my friends has this FM transmitter in his car. I was very impressed with the sound quality for a FM mod.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
