Whats a cheap and easiest way too to get my Ipod touch integrated with my 04 RX8.. ?? I tried the search, but nothing. If anyone could help... Please..

 

Best buy $20 install of cable

 

So 20 Dollars for cables, and I would have to install it myself... And im guessing I would have to take the radios face place off

 

the radio in the 04s have the jacks in back? because this model does not have the ipod jack in front like the newer model(s).

 

would you know what type of cable i would need... ?

 

going the aux is the best route mentioned above. I when a different road for the time being with the Beklin Cradle. Cost me around 60-70 bucks its simple and works well. it also has channel presets and channel scanning that helps avoid the static interference which works well and is able to move ^v<> the AUX cable is definitely the way to go but, this is fast and easy.

 

I too would love to find out how to do this to an '04 without dropping $200 for an integration kit (I believe that's what it's called and what's it's price is)

Plus I don't like the radio connects (Belkin, etc.), I would rather just be able to play it through my stereo than through my radio if you guys know what I mean...

suggestions/help?

 

I know what u mean.. In my old 95 camaro i had a cable red and white comming from the back of the radio to connect the ipod, but I dont want the FM one... Thanks for the pics though..

 

^^^wait so can the 8 do the same thing??

Thats what im trying to find out if The 8 has the same outputs on tha back of the stock radio so I can then go ahead and take the faceplate out and connect the same cable. But I hear the the 04's dont have an AUX in the front, unlucky for me..

 

so does it have a jack in the back of the radio? if so that would be perfect and easy...what kind of jack is it an aux jack?

 

No 8's have any type of universal input jack in the rear of the headunit. Please search. This question has been asked literally hundreds of times.

 

This is the type of cable I had, well sort off.. because the red and white connected to the back of the radio, and the other end would connect to my ipod... here is the link

Sorry, I didnt think they would have a topic related to this, but thanks for your feedback, by the way, Nice lookng 8 u got,,,

 

Ahhh, screw firebirddude, he's always stuck up from the posts I've seen.

Still, I would like to know more about this topic as well...I'm searching and I can't find exactly what I'm looking for...so I would just like more info as you would probably too.

 

I'm glad you know me so well from the couple months you've been a member. But I'll be the first to admit I'm a complete ******* a lot of the time. That certainly doesn't mean I don't consistently crank out quality answers for fellow 8 owners.

On that note, here's the last gift I give to you. Hopefully you don't need any Interior, Audio, and Electronics help in the future, because it's not coming from me.

ya i know. I searched and found all that too lol. I was trying to help in the defense of SilverRenesis. But seriously you don't have to be an ******* all the time...some people just want some help...that's it

 

The best way to 'help' someone on the forums is to post the Correct answer, or refer him to threads that post the correct answer. Or, stay silent. Personal attacks on a fellow member don't help - and practically guarantee that this thread will be locked/removed.

Firebirdude was correct: This same question has indeed been gone through several hundred times, and has been answered definatively, as far as iPod 'Classics'.

No, you can't just plug-in an ipod to a stock '03 to '08 stereo.

There are several solutions - from soldering connections to the CD player and playing a blank CD; to the Mazda iPod adaper; to at least two aftermarket providers.


Now, I know all this stuff, but didn't respond because my iPod isn't a 'touch'. There are also threads about touches and i'phones not working properly with aftermarket connections. Search is your friend.
