Easiest Mod Ever
(Not talking about Phox (the Mod) here)
Finally got around to laying out a whopping $10 for the RCA cord that connects my iPod Shuffle (or wifes 30G one) to the stereo head unit in my truck. Hid the cord so you can't see it when not in use. Best and easiest mod I have done (ok, except the Smarty earlier this week). Between satellite radio and the iPod, I could care less if any head unit I ever buy even has a CD anymore.

You know what annoys me? How I've had an MP3 player for years, and there hasn't been a single head unit with input jacks anywhere on the planet, and now this IHOP thing comes out and you can't find a head unit without input jacks anywhere on the market.
I mean, why is it that I had the thing, and when I had it I never got to use anything but those stupid little cassette-input things, and now everybody else gets an I-Pod, and they all get to wire it up into their dash all slick like.
They should all have to suffer like I did. All of them.
.. . .
The next I-Pod I see; I think I'm going to weld it to a lawnmower blade and start driving over mattress springs...
Stupid I-Pods... No brunettes anywhere in the God forsaken state...
Uargh.......

i got an FM Transmitter for mine. you can use these on any audio device too. it works pretty nice and sounds good too. i do have the input jacks though and i have a Sony Xplod cd player for the record. but even though it sounds pretty good with the transmitter i bet it'd sound better if i plug it in the back what ya think? and hotdram can you tell me where you ran your wires to hide them when not in use? maybe even some pics .

Plus, I never have to worry about interference from a local station. I will try to get some pics.

Well, didn't get a pic of the cable, but I can show you here what I did:
I ran the cable from behind the stereo, drilled a hole in the inside of the pocket where the CB is mounted and put the cable in there. It hides out of way when not in use.
I see you have an auto, chevysucksgas, so your layout is a little different than mine.
