iPod Install Instructions Needed

[Jeff Sauer]

Hello -

I just got a 40gb iPod and would like to have a car stereo installation place set up a connection to my existing factory-installed car stereo. (I have a 98 Toyota 4Runner.)

My stereo does NOT have an auxiliary in jack, and I don't wish to use a cassette adapter or the iTrips FM station methods, as they compromise quality and functionality.

Do I have to buy a new car stereo, as Circuit City tells me, or can someone provide me with instructions and a parts list so I can add a jack to my existing stereo and get the most from my iPod?

THANKS in advance for your help.

you might want to post this in a more applicable place. Not sure you'll get an answer here.

which may work for you.

It will work, but if you read his original post closely you'd see that he doesn't want an FM transmitter-type solution:

Yes I should have read more closely.

You should do a search in the iPod-In-Car Solutions forum (http://www.ipodlounge.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=44). There's lots of information available there regarding how one can hard-wire an iPod into a car stereo.
