alpine auxiliary input adapter (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-j2GeDc72jxx/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=57900&id=morephotos&pi=1&i=500KCM122B&display=L#Tab)

and one of these Niko ipod links (http://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail~dpno~191509.asp)

now all I need is to get power to my Ipod but as you can see I can no longer use the bottem connecter because it is already being used is there any options ? what can I do?

sorry I don't get it so it's one plug that uses the bottom connector and it charges and has RCA coming from it?.....really? do you have pics of this setup? this would be ideal!

salkin - the Belkin Auto kit (basically a wire that plugs into your iPod on one end and a igatette lighter on the other) uses your iPod's bottom connection, the wire runs to your cigarette ligter. On the part that plugs into your cigarette lighter there is an audio output (hole) that you plug an RCA to 1/8" stereo wire into. The 1/8" goes into the audo output from the belkin and the RCA's go into your aux in adapter...
