iPod Help in 2006 GT
I picked up my Torch red GT on Tuesday, what a fantastic vehicle. I come from London, the land of the Mini, so a V8 motor is a real treat!!!
I would like to connect an iPod to the Shaker 500 stereo, is there a kit or does anyone know what the Aux button controls, is it a phono in???
Apologies if this has been covered before, but as you can see, I'm a newbe.
Also, do you know if any HID mods are available, the headlights are not the best I've experienced!

Do you want it hardwired, or just a wireless transmitter? The transmitter would be the cheaper option, around $30, just plugs into the headphone port and transmits at the frequency you choose, then you just set your radio to the same frequency.

iTrip is the BIGGEST peice of crap known to man. I have it and its crap.
The best one, with crystal clear sound and great range is the Monster cable iCarPlay: http://www.monstercable.com/computer...r.asp?pin=2084
its $69.95 but it sounds just like its hardwired.

Sounds the best and is way controlable by the little remote or the head unit.

They make auxiliary input adapters for that year mustang. Slaps right on the factory radio - gives you two RCA inputs. Sounds lightyears better than even a wired FM trans.
They also make control modules, but these come close to 200 dollars rather than just 60.

Thats awsome how you do that i want to do that with mine. I have the 30 gb ipod video. I have the pioneer deph 3600 cd player. I bought the conected in the back of the cd player to put aux in. I got cords and everything hooked it all up and i didnt have bass on my subs until i turned it up to level 23 volume. I dono why tryed diff cords and everything. The cords pluged into my headphones. Where did u get the conector to plug into the bottom of your ipod and whats it connect to on the back of your cd player. and how much. Does the ipod charge while its hooked up. and will the ipod turn on by it self when you start the car. I would love to have all those options cause right now i have something like i trip which isnt the best. Thanks. Brad. I think my cd player is capable of everything its xm ready. has aux input. and the screen display like yours. Thanks. Oh and my mustang is a 95 if that matters
