VMF Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 i'm not sure if you can put this one in. but you can look for FM modulator that will connect to the antenna cable and will work as another FM station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkester Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 i've heard bad things about fm modulators. wont this get tons of interference and kill sound quality? i live in dc so there are tons of radio stations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 didnt cause any problems to me. i had a kenwood fm modulator and it worket perfectly for me. when it was off there was no interference with the radiostations. and when it was on the sound was chrisp and clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkester Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 is the sound quality as good as a casette adapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkester Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 is the sound quality as good as a casette adapter? also, is there any way to power the ipod from somewhere other than the front cig lighter? VWs have ciglighters inthe trunk. is there one in the 96 ls400? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 it is much better then the cig adapter. as to the power problem. i just installed another wire from the battery and put it under the seat. now i can plug anything with 110v in:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkester Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 i think i may do this. but is there a way to do a clean install and have the power go to the battery? i want to use a mount for the ipod but i want to minimize visible wires. any suggestions?

jkester Posted November 23, 2003 Author Share Posted November 23, 2003 if there is a wire under the seat, isn't the wire from the ipod to the power wire visible? i want it to look something like this (except in my lexus): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 we;; this wire you can make to go through the glovebox compartment and just hide it there when its not in use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
