I know this is probably an ancient topic but I just wanted to get opinions on the best MP3/Ipod hookup for an AP1 (02/03 radio). I am looking for a direct hookup that charges the Ipod with control remaining with the actual ipod. Back in the day there was a PIE aux mod that I believe just plugged into the CD changer port or something like that, is there a newer/better product or is that still the best bet?

^^ I have similar setup, you can hookup any mp3 player/ipod/iphone using the two jacks available...one for mp3 players..the 3.5mm jack and one for ipods and stuff.

 

That says that it is for the '04-'07.

 

They have all models I believe - they will even let you pick it up locally to avoid shipping charges.

 

Thanks might give them a call, only downside is that it doesn't charge the 3G iphone.

 

What brand/model is yours?

 

Charges Select Apple iPod's (Compatible models listed below) when connected via the bottom dock connector (Does NOT turn off your iPod when you get out of the car)
iPod Classic - 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G (Does not charge the 7G iPod Classic)

 

I don't remember the brand model but I got mine from that Car Toys place by 75 in Plano. I actually dropped by and they had something similar that would connect to the CD Changer socket and work as a CD Changer for the stock CD Player.

 

Frys sells a "patch cable" that is made by isimple that converts any dock connector to a 4Gnano/iphone 3G/S into a compatible one.

Joe, try to find a AP2 HU I'm saving theipod adapter for you. I bet you can find an AP2 HU under $60.
