Hi,
I just got an Apple Ipod Mini this past weekend. I had the adapter where u hook up the tape to the tape player in the car , but the sound quality is horrible... I saw that alpine has a thing for 100 dollars that will charge the ipod while you use it, and allows you to control the ipod from an alpine headunit... But right now im going for whats cheapest. Is there any other method to hook up my ipod to my stock cd player besides the tape adapter, or the radio transmitter that some companies sell for the ipod (still has bad sound quality)...?? Thanks, Rob --------------------  |

Yes an inline FM modulator would work, such as the ones sold in the XM Car kit.
