Possible to run iPod from Factory Deck

[bimmerboy 3]

Is there any way to wire my iPod to my factory deck? It doesn't have an aux input, and I don't want to run it off a radio frequency due to shitty SQ.

I plan on running an MTX re-q sound processor to run my subwoofer/amp, but otherwise I will have a stock 2003 Toyota Camry system.

*Edit* Just read up on the MTX re-Q5, looks like it has an aux input...would this work for me? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_10834_MTX+Audio+reQ-5+-re-Q+%3Csup%3E5%3C-sup%3E-.html

Any ideas would be appreciated, i'm stumped here

Thanks!

Yes. Hand Crafted Car Audio sells something that would work, I would try there.

Pac makes some of the best integration solutions

Heres and Aux In solution

iPod specific add on.

Make sure to check the compatibility notes. These will not work with all Camrys.

Crap, my car has a factory in-dash cd-changer, none of those will work.... any other ideas?

FM Modulator or get an aftermarket Head Unit.

I vote aftermarket. The dash kit and Harnesses are relatively cheap and you can get a quality radio that will do iPod for a $150 from a retailer, and even cheaper online. Aftermarket always beats the shit out of stock.

The only time I wouldn't go aftermarket is in new vehicles where the dashes are so complex it doen't pay to, but you can!
