Ipod and a Mach 460

Is there any sure way to connect an Ipod to a Mach 460 system? Someone posted that he connected it with some converter, but on that converter's website it said it didn't work with a 2001 Mach 460 system. Does anyone know the truth? Is there any other way to connect an Ipod? Would a Mach 1000 head unit (MP3 player) work with a Mach 460 system...and does anyone know where I can get the head unit? All I'm looking for is a way to play MP3's without having to replace the whole system. Thanks

there was a thread on svtperformance.com that dealt with this...do a search in the terminator forum for "ipod mach 460"

I called these guys and they said they had just the part to connect an mp3 player to the Mack 460.

Did you buy it and have you tried it? Does it work?

or you can spend 30 bucks on a fm transmitter called an iTrip for your iPod.

thats if you dont want it to work, because mine surely sounds like ass.

I tried that and it does sound like ass. Sometimes it'll sound ok, but most of the time there's alot of static.

You need a PIE adaptor. It converts the digital input from the MACh radio into RCA inputs. It's $70 and only works from 1999-2002 Mach 460 radios. It does NOT work on 2003+ models.

You need model FRDN-AUX

XM fan sell them: http://www.xmfanstore.com/showproduct.php?id=pieoem

so does radio store: http://www.myradiostore.us/auxadapters/pie/factory/no-external-changer/frdn-aux.html

Thanks for the info. This might be the solution to my problems.

Finally installed the PIE converter and it works great. It's a real simple install too. Totally worth the 70+ bucks I paid.
