well i bought a wire that hooks up to the inputs in the back of the radio and then u plug it into the earphone jack and it works. the only problem i had was one of my inputs dont work so i could hook up my ipod and subs. i actually bought the wire from dollar tree for 1 dollar. sure beats the 50 u would spend on similar bs

headphone jack? if you have an AUX input into your headunit, you can just run a stereo-miniplug to the back and just connect it to your ipod, not hard at all, easiest and ugliest way to do it too haha.

You can also do it if you have RCA inputs in the back of the headunit as well, same basic principle but instead use a RCA/Stereo miniplug cable.

If this is what you need, PM me and i'll give you a cable, i have like a box of 20 of them, ill meet up with you and give them to you for a soda.


Anyways, those are the simplest ways to do them, Good luck.

Fm transmitter works fine for me.

I had it to the AUX in rca leands and it was clear, but so freakin quiet. So I switched.
