i wanna be able to use my ipod with mach 460 and do it relatively cheap. that means i dont wanna replace the speakers and amps.would i be better just replacin the head unit (if there is a plugin harness available) and buying an ipod interface from somebody (if there is one avaiable)?

 

Cheap- Fm transmitter
OK- Interface module to connect to factory headunit
Best- New deck capable of direct connect iPod, and the iPod adaptor with it. Company that has the cheapest iPod interface is Eclipse, can be found from authorized dealers for $40. Going this route you will maintain all of your controls (some of the other methods for example, you cant browse by album or artist, just by playlists etc.) Also you control everything through the headunit, instead of juggling the iPod and changing volume on your deck etc. and you can hide the iPod alot of people will run the wire to the glovebox so all you have to do when you get in your car is plug it in and go.

 

thanx. installin a new head unit it is then. who makes a harness for the 2003 mach 460?? cause i wanna use the stock amps and speakers

 

scosche
get it at walmart or similar.

 

walmart, best buy, etc... its not for a "460" it will just say mustang. you have to remove the remote turn on wire from your factory harness and attach it to the remote turn on for your new deck otherwise u wont get sound from your speakers. pm ttocs he has a how to somewheres

 

ok thanx. i just didnt wanna encounter all the problems i've read about for these systems

 

the mach 460 is probably the easiest of all the "premium" systems that I have worked with. Most shops will have a knee-jerk reaction to them and recommend ripping them out completly. It is not hard to integrate into them and with some tweeking they can sound much better then the factory radio did. page 2 of my sig.

 

yeah man, i read it and printed it out so i'll have it with me when i do the install. i bought a a Kenwood Double-Din DVD Receiver/Monitor from my buddy for $150 plus installin his new system for him. he just bought a Pioneer AVIC-72...damn thing cost him over $2000....

 

I think the video bypass for the avic is covered in one of our sticky's on the main audio page.

 

yeah i saw that, he's printed it out so he use it. but as for my kenwood....well we will see later in the week
