Anybody using an iPod yet?
 

Just curious if anyone is using an iPod and the FM transmitter to play music
in their jeeps? I'm thinking I want something along the lines of an iPod
instead of satellite radio. Then I can take it and play it in any vehicle
using the FM transmitter. Then I can put a cheaper head unit in my CJ as
well.

Downloading all my CD's to it would be great, also downloading MP3's. I
mean WOW.... 10,000 songs! Even if a CD averages 15 songs, you could get
over 650 cd's on it.

Anybody bought one yet?

Re: Anybody using an iPod yet?
 

Yeah they are nice. I have a 40 gig model I just bought and i'm working on
loading it up with tunes now. Haven't got the FM transmitter yet but I hear
the best one it the iTrip from Griffin. They are about $30 from CompUSA and
other places.

If you want to try and get a free iPod, try this place:
http://tinyurl.com/4b6e9 Just make sure you sign up with a Yahoo or Hotmail
email, they will spam the ---- out of you. Most people recommend the
Ancestry.com offer, since it involves no money and they have a toll free
number to cancel the service. I got my girlfriend to do that one. It is
legit, a bunch of people at flyertalk.com's forums did a 'conga line' on
this site and a bunch of people got their iPods. I need one more person to
get my free 20gig model, which I will turn around and sell to help pay for
the 40g one I bought.

I'll knock $99.99 of retail for someone on RAMJ+W if you want to be the last
referral for me. That's $200 for a 20gig iPod instead of $299.99. Othewise
it's going on greedBay for $250 buy it now.

Re: Anybody using an iPod yet?
 

I have one. 15gb 3rd gen. Having used other hdd players, I can safely say
there's a reason Apples player is the most popular.

I use an adapter which turns the CD changer input in the back back of my
stock 2003 head unit into an aux input. Cost $70, sounds and works WAY
better than any FM transmission ever will (trust me, I've tried it).

http://www.logjamelectronics.com/piechry02aux.html

That's the one I bought. I'm never going back to FM of any kind.

You have file copies. Usually the ones you copied to your Ipod.

Re: Anybody using an iPod yet?
 

I really like my iPod.

I've got a 3rd Generation, 20 GB iPod and the FM transmitter (iTrip). I
haven't "ripped" all of my CD's to the PC yet, but it's already amazing to
have access to a large % of my CD's. The iTunes software is nice because it
autmatically "updates" the iPod with anything new each time I plug it into
the computer.

The FM transmitter works fine for me (in fact, we now also take the iPod on
long trips in the SUV because a CD changer with "only" 6 CD's now seems like
a limitation!). I've heard that some people have problems with FM
interference, so the best option would be a direct connect, etc.

Yeah what he said. Your files are safe at home on your computer, as are
your CDs that you ripped to your player that likewise won't be getting
scratched, stolen, or damaged in any way. Many eggs, many baskets. Don't
be such a party pooper.

Re: Anybody using an iPod yet?
 

I have something like that on my Alpine head unit. It also uses the cd
changer connector. I'm using that for my Sirius tuner right now though.
Maybe i'll switch back to the Sirius' RF modulator and use it as an input
for the iPod instead.

I have something like that on my Alpine head unit. It also uses the cd
changer connector. I'm using that for my Sirius tuner right now though.
Maybe i'll switch back to the Sirius' RF modulator and use it as an input
for the iPod instead.

I'm on my 2nd iPod - I highly recommend it.

It is great. Its like having a radio station that only plays music you
like.

Which is easier to carry - an iPod that's smaller than a pack of cigarettes
or several hundred CDs? And even if it should get stolen, I have insurance
and my CDs at home.

I agree! I used an Irock! transmitter for awhile with my RCA Lyra
player, but then I got a back input and it's way better. The Jeep is
just too loud for any static to be acceptable.

Re: Anybody using an iPod yet?
 

Thanks guys, I will definately look into a head unit with the aux input
instead of the FM. Maybe I'll still get the FM for my XJ instead of
replacing the stock head unit in that though.

Aux input is the ideal method, but I have both an iTrip and a cassette
adaptor. The iTrip (or iRock - works just as well, but requires batteries)
is pretty handy for when you travel - you can listen to your music on any
clock radio, boom box, someone else's car, home stereo, etc. Its well
worth the price tag, even if you do opt to use a direct input in your
primary car.

Re: Anybody using an iPod yet?
 

If you can get your hands on a stock 2003 head from a TJ (might be a trick
to get it into your CJ), you can get the adapter I got that changed the CD
changer input to an aux. input. I've used a few FM transmitters and now that
I'm "hardwired", I'll never go back.
