iPod integration just installed on my H3

[TorontoJeff]

The difference is that this doesnt use FM transmission, but plugs directly into the digital output at the bottom of the ipod.

this is the best thing ive done to my H3 so far!!

So here's the result (photos to come). Im going to explain it in detail to make sure that people understand, my apologies to those who understand the setup already:

I ordered 3 parts:
1. the DLO Transpod Direct - this is a docking cradle that charges the unit and also hold it on the dashboard.
2. the cable that connects the ipod to the auxillary jack behind the factory radio
3. A mounting bracket that attaches to the dash and let's you screw the Transpod into it.

It turned out that the H3 mounting bracket wasnt out yet, so the audio store I was at made one for me which screws into the glove compartment. I believe that if you dont mind screwing the Transpod directly into the dash, then you dont need the mounting bracket.

So right now the Transpod is mounted between the glove compartment and the factory stereo, and has a wire that goes into the dash (and into the auxillary port in the radio)

I push the "band" button repeatedly until eventually a number "1" comes up on the diplay, and that is the station for my Ipod (dont get it confused with FM transmitter, because it isnt being broadcast to a radio station. The #1 is the auxillary input)

The sound is fantastic, i control the Ipod from the Ipod itself, it is easy to access.

In addition, there is a small plug, the size of a headphone plug, that plugs into the Transpod, so if I want to add an aftermarket satellite radio unit, I can mount it near the Transpod, and simply switch that plug between devices.

Any questions, ask away
