I'd spend up to about $400 for a good solution. I'd love to just replace the radio for a new unit that took ipod. I wouldn't mind a much better tuner anyway. But Subie seems to have made that no so much of an option. Thanks. Cronkey

Hi everyone, I'm hoping you'll be willing to patiently answer a few newbie questions about this. No, I have NOT read every post in this thread, but I don't really have a week off to spare to do that, so... here goes: I've got to get my ipod hooked up in my 06 legacy, and people seem to rave about this approach. 1) Can you please explain the relative difficulties of the jazzy approach versus a direct FM modulator? Are they equally easy or hard to pull off, or is one more hard than the other? 2) I am not really an audiophile. I get that the jazzy will produce better sound than a direct FM modulator, but enough better to warrant going this route instead of that route? (Especially in light of your answer to question 1 above.) 3) Any other general thoughts about the best approach to getting ipod hooked up for someone that is not an audiophile would be appreciated. And yes, I have tried a wireless FM transmitter and boy do they suck. You don't need to be an audiophile to know to throw that junk away. 4) I am pretty handy with my hands, and am not afraid to undertake a project like this, but I will admit that I am more experienced with plumbing and carpentry than I am with electronics. Would you recommend this upgrade for a guy with slightly above-average fix-it skills but no particular experience with car audio? Thanks very much! Cronkey!
