So E36 CD43 don't have an input jack

[M-technik-3]

so to integrate an ipod what is the preferred method? FM ?

[whodwho]

FM modulators suck, look at DICE or Grom.

Don't think Dice works, grom? Haven't heard of them but I'll look it up. Thanks

This is what I plan on doing...I still haven't gotten around to it. Over Thanksgiving break it's definitely going to happen, though.

That's it, but you want the Non-DSP version.

I found mine cheap on e46fanatics because it was missing the cable that goes to the iPod. They pop up there rather often, so keep an eye out over there if you're a member.

I thought I read those were discontinued, guess not

Any options for a 3.5mm headphone-type input?

I can get the Dennison, but they are damn expensive

The Blitzsafe adapter works with my C43. It's hooked up to a Phatbox mp3 player and it has RCAs for an auxiliary input. While in CD changer mode, you just hit the track up and then the track down buttons to get it to switch to AUX input.

Im rocking the Dice, Worked well for a month, then the cable took a shit. I assume.. Before that though it worked pretty nicely.

Every damn one of these has always seemed to need to be reset every few months for some reason.

If yours acts up, just unplug it and wait 1 minute, then re-connect.

I unplugged it, then threw it in the trash can. What a piece! tech support blows too.

So others might know are you speaking of the CD43 or the Dension or the Dice.

At this point I could care less, one car has one and the other has S14 tunes all the time via a blank plate.

Ok but how much less could you care? I also have a blank plate but could not care any less than I already do.

For what it's worth, CD43 is a fat waste of fat stacks of cash dollars to get to work with an input, and CDs will still skip anyway so you might as well get a smarter aftermarket deck that is as neutral looking as possible.
