  1. If you succeed in installing the audio controls wheel on your 2.5i, I might do mine. I've had my radio out before to do the Jazzy aux-in mod so NBD there. I'm a little nervous working around the airbag though. Think I could find a shop that would do it for me?
  2. Got mine installed a while back. Took 2-3 hours and was pretty straight forward except for the armrest clips! Ended up pulling *back* and up and (memory is a little fuzzy here) disconnecting the clips from the wrong (car body, not armrest) side! Ended up getting one out but broke the other. Seems to hold ok with just the 1. I picked a spot in the armrest cubby (next to the 12V) to mount a panel mount female jack. Drilled from above instead of underneath, and ended up having to enlarge the hole a little too much just to get the back side of the jack to end up flush with the underside of the cubby. It looks a little crappy if you shine a flashlight in the cubby and look closely, and it's a little looser than I'd like, but otherwise it's fine! I connected the female aux in jack to GLI which was plugged into jazzy. Then I went to get the ipod to check it out and... dead ipod battery:icon_mad: . I had planned to use a dock-to-male audio cable and just recharge the ipod at home. Instead, I today finally got a car charger to plug into the doc port (to power the ipod) and a short m-to-m audio cable from the ipod headphone jack to the my new female aux in. Dropped in my blank cd, pressed play on the ipod and... Success! Thanks Jazzy! My 2 hour car trip today is going to be great!
  3. No big deal. I got a dock-connector-to-3.5 mm cable that's unpowered, so it turns out I have a GLI-free solution with line level. At least it's one fewer set of plugs between the source and the receiver
  4. D'OH! I Wish you'd said this before I bought my just-in-case GLI. Maybe add it to the FAQ or the top page of the thread?
  5. PolarDog, Thanks for the great pix! Unfortunately it looks to me like a prescription for a stiff neck. But you helped me make up my mind. I'm going to go with the retractable cord I found that has a dock connector on one end and a male 3.5mm on the other. It's a little more work to connect, but I think it will be better for my wife and me. Thanks again!
  6. Great pix PolarDog! I haven't done my install yet and now you've seriously got me thinking about the flexibledock! Could you do me (and others thinking about the same dock) a favor? I'd like to see pics of how far left and right the iPod can turn when in your setup. With the iPod oriented the way you have it, I think my passenger would get a stiff neck if she wanted to browse music. Thanks, Jeff
  7. FWIW, I'd use your website if I didn't already have my board
  8. I went to your website. Cool! One small request - please add cable lengths to your descriptions. Some other products you might consider stocking: http://www.datapro.net/products/1224.html http://www.datapro.net/products/1223.html http://www.welovemacs.com/zipaudioip1.html
  9. I ordered a PAC SNI-1/3.5 from Crutchfield on Monday and I just got an email today that it shipped! That's not bad!
  10. PAC is lazy/cheap. Look at the 2 GLIs. They both use the same sticker! Notice that on the on the left-hand side of the 3.5, it says: LEFT OUTPUT RIGHT just like it does on the RCA, even though the 3.5 doesn't have separate wires for left and right! I'm not sure I trust the sticker now.
  11. I'm already going to have iPod -> patch cable -> GLI. I'm not sure if I want to add that last patch cable so that the GLI is outside the head. It's a tough call. If you use another patch cable you get the benefit of the GLI being accessible but you also add another plug connection into it. Jazzy, you seem to imply that you opened a PAC GLI to look at the windings. Can you say definitevely which direction it is?
  12. Originally Posted by ilh When I wired my Crutchfield 3.5mm GLI in, it seemed like it was backwards. The "IN" side (male) was toward the jazzy, but to do it any other way would require an adapter between the jazzy and the GLI. It sounds fine that way. The Crutchfield pic below looks to me like Male = output. So the male should plug straight into the jazzy. {Output of iPod -> input (F) of GLI -> output of GLI -> input of jazzy (F) -> head} Am I wrong? http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/products/2005/127/x127SNi135-f.jpeg
  13. Nice find! It should be a real help to those who have the manual climate controls!
