redneck iPod in-car connection

Pcking - Can you give me a link to the CD changer input that you're talking about?

I'm trying to avoid using the mini-plug/headphone jack output and instead use the 30-pin dock connector.

So far my redneck solution would be a 30-pin to RCA cable into a RCA to mini-plug adapter into a double female mini-plug adapter into the mini-plug to tape adapter. I doubt the sound difference would be worth all of the cables and adapters sitting in the truck. Maybe I wouldn't hear any difference at all.

Almost as much as the potential for better quality, I hate having the volume on the iPod in the loop.

Why not look at getting a new radio ?

I did actually stop by Car Toys a few months ago and because of the way the factory system is installed they basically told me to upgrade the speakers or nothing at all. The stereo is so integrated that they would basically have to rewire the entire truck for any changes.

You can get goid results with a $30 wireless FM modulator from Amazon. I got one for a friend, it allows any FM channel you wish with 3 memory presets and has its on volume control. You cant pick 2 small channels but it plugs into lighter in car then RCA mini into phone or pod. It works very well. Made by Monster.
