iPod nano and TransPod - Outstanding

[Nazrat]

Good job. My cable exits in the glove box and normally I just leave the iPod in there. I can skip around with the radio buttons. I have a Pro-Fit mount with a generic cell phone cradle and when I want to see the iPod I slip it in there. I really like having the pocket where the CD changer used to be.

Be sure to set dipswitch 2 to off before installing otherwise your iPod will only display "TOYOTA" and you don't be able to see the song title or control the iPod with its buttons.

First thing I did after opening the box was set that dipswitch according to your earlier post. Never tried the default setting.

Does this set-up bypass the CD changer, or can you still use it?

The interface connection replaces the CD Changer connection. The CD Changer cannot be used with the iPod interface connected.

What I did was to use the aux input on the iPod adaptor to connect an external CD changer. I have a SONY FM modulated CD changer. Instead of connecting the output to the FM modulator I run the RCA cables directly to the iPod adaptor. The FM modulator part is just used as the screen/buttons for the CD changer.

I sold my in-dash cd changer for $150 on E-Bay too.

Can't imagine wanting a CD Changer in addition to an iPod. I bought the cheaper iPodnano with just 1 GB of memory, but I have over 15 hours of music on it.

Well, me, actually.

I have a lot more music than will fit on my 4GB Nano, so I keep the staples on there, but I also want to play the occasional miscellaneous CD, too. I don't like to reload the iPod every week to keep the selection fresh.

We all use our iPods in different ways...
