[AMC-List] IPODS in old cars

["Widiker, John D" <john.widiker@xxxxxxx>]

 We've been buying the bare connectors for them and making our own
interfaces and cradles, so far we've used aluminum and delrin to make
them out of. We've got a Miata that we built a port directly into the
console that gets rid of the need for the usual fm transmitters and that
stuff. We used a ipod Nano and the hole is exactly the size of the ipod
base itself. When it's not in use we made a small rubber plug that fills
the hole and it just disappears.

By not using the "universal" stuff it allows us to tailor them to the
car at hand and makes them easy to put anywhere. We have connectors that
sit at 90 (vertical) and 70 degrees (slightly slanted) but you can
orientate them on any plane you wish. They require very little depth
under the surface. 

My 64 Pontiac was built with stealth in mind so we are coming up with a
really cool setup for it (should be done in another few weeks) and my
AMX is right behind. If you have multiple cars it really cool to be able
listen to your favorite stuff no matter what you are driving.

Audiophiles are entirely correct, you do lose fidelity with the
compressed formats, set up well though it's certainly livable especially
in a musclecar where it's not the audio providing the primary thrills.
The ipods through a factory head unit with some decent component
speakers sounds pretty awesome to 95% of the population.

I know nothing about IPOD's MP3's, etc. as I am an AM man but the August
2006 issue of Musclecar Enthusiast does a 2-page story by Richard
Truesdell on the installation of an IPOD in his 69 Rambler.
