Hello, wondering if there is a way of connecting my Ipod to my car's stereo? The stereo does not have the spot where a cable could plug into it and I have no caset tape space. Is there another way of doing this another way or do I need a new stereo?

is your current stereo just some crap factory one?

if so just get a new one because the cost of a good quality work around is as much as a new head unit with the feature you want.

This. Dice Electronics makes a piece but it ends up coming out to be the same as a new head unit after installation.

New Stereos are easy to install, just match up the words on the wires for each of the manuals you get. Ipod converter for a factory stereo is around 150. New stereo might even be cheaper!

You end up spending about ~115$ on just parts unless you find good prices online just to let you know. That's not including the price of a radio and or install if u need it

Oh that ain't bad. Can install that easy. Was sort of under the impression they were more. A specific brand I should stick with? Alpine or kenwood or other?
