iPod Adaptor's

Who has put one in their B-series Falcon and what are they like?

Is all the wiring hidden and can you work the iPod from the steering wheel controls like you can in the FG Falcons?.

i put the the MP3 player wire and booster in both my ute and B's XR8 ... it is the one that plugs into the loom and has a retractable lead under the tissue box holder. It plugs into the earphone socket of your MP3 player and then you hit the AM button twice to go into auxillary. you still use your mp3 player as normal but you control the volume through your stereo / strg wheel volume control. if you get one of these make sure you pay the extra and get the one with the booster .... you can get just the wire but it does not sound as good.

I dont use an i-Pod though ... i much prefer my Creative Zen player.

Are these the one's that Ford were selling??

they are .....

You can plug your PSP into it too and then play V8supercars with all the noise of the racetrack coming through your car speakers...

I use my ipod touch in the car all the time. Ive got a belkin tuner and it isnt as clear as a CD though which sux!

That was going to be My next question.....What is the sound quality like?. Is there any interference or static?

You have to have the station perfect for it to sound good and its always different in every car.. I reckon it sounded better in the silver falcon.

So it runs through the AM stations frequency then?. Sounds like it might be better to just stick to CD then.

I use a Belkin one in the cig lighter with a FM transmitter for mine (iPhone) and it works fine. Quality is acceptable (you are in a car at the end of the day so you'll always have to put up with the roar of the V8 or whine of the Turbo) - steering wheel mounted volume controls work also.

Probably wouldn't work in FJ's old valve radio then.

Yeah wonder how he manages the crank start as well now that hes getting OLD

No ... your getting yourself confused.
The belkin one works on the FM frequency (i use one in my company car) they are acceptable quality - you would have to have a good ear to pick up any difference between that and FM radio.
When you use the hard wire type you push the AM button on your radio twice to get you into auxillary mode.

So Zam's Belkin one is a bit old a crappy then??.

Best to get it the hard wired type from Ford then?.

Look here You.......Since We got that electricity thingy last year we have become very modern, We even have this thing called a Television but bugger if I know how it works and we have this stereo thing too and you put black things on it and music comes out the other end......Beat that.

Much better sound from the hard wire the only downfall is that you cant swap them from car to car!

That's alright though cos My farm truck has a Sony head unit in it with an auxiliary plug on it, So where do you plug your iPod in?....Does it sit in the tissue box or center arm rest?.

And does all the song info show up on the TFT screen like the FG do??

It has a long retractable cord so mine usually sits in the cup holder on the console.

no it doesn't.

Damn it.

Must be long then, to get from "there" to the cup holder
S'pose that's why you have to "stand up" then.....

I think I need to play with mine more in the new car cos I still dont have it perfect, although the slighest crackle annoys me!
