Wow, $130 plus installation is NOT what I had in mind. I found this: http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-Audio-FM-Modulator-Universal/dp/B0007THIDQ/ref=sr_- 1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1236817600&sr=1-3 ...which seems much more cost effective. I've talked to several folks in the car stereo biz and they seem to think this will work. I plan to order one; I'll report back on the results. $30 is better than $130, no? |

With both the above options sounding bad.

Replying to: LisaD (May 03, 2009 8:17 am)  I've purchased the Scosche modulator, but for a variety of reasons it's still sitting in the package. I still think it's the way to go. For the person who recommended the "cassette adaptor" - Hello? 07/08/09 Santa Fe's have CD players....

If I may add my two cents, what's wrong with CDs? I do have an ipod, but I also use the mp3 capability of the indash CD player on my 07 SF. My daughter has an aux input on her car, but she uses the mp3 capablilty of her CD player most of the time, also. If you are someone who carries your ipod with you every where you go, then I can see wanting an aux input, but cheap, reliable CDs offer a lot of advantages: Safety - you can use the steering wheel controls to change songs, so you are not fumbling around with your ipod while driving. Security - you don't have to worry about hiding your ipod when you park, and if a 25 cent CD does get lost or stolen, big deal. Convenience - you don't have to remember to grab your ipod or worry about it being charged. The CD player is always there, and if you burn the CD right, the song titles are listed on the radio display. Yes, you can't put a gazillion songs on a CD, but there are probably just a select few songs you listen to all the time. I found a CD case the fits in the top center console perfectly. I have CDs for different moods (jazz, rock, showtunes for my wife, etc), and putting in a CD is no more trouble than hooking up an ipod. |

PXAMG... just google it. It's a new adapter that turns your XM button into a multi function button. One being and IPod input. Plus they sell a HD radio adapter, but you are starting to run $250 with the HD item. $130 for IPod alone. You can install it if you are good as it's plug and play but have to get behind the radio. If you don't have an XM radio (don't need a subscription, just the radio with that button) then a FM converter that plugs into the radio's antenna. Most converts need a switch to turn them on/off. I had one added and the switch is in that small tray above the radio. I started looking into the PXAMG control as the converter is not that loud with a MP3 player. I tried CDs but since I don't have the 6CD player anymore... one CD gets too boring after a few days. |
