There's a mass of iPOD info on the forum, but this topic seems as good as any to ask for more advice.
My agents installed a cigar lighter power source and aux input in the centre console.
The software was upgraded, (I can even play mp3 DVDs in the Nav DVD player), and Aux Input enabled.
I finally purchased the iPOD together with the Monster iCharger and a single male jack to connect line out to aux input.
Problem ? No sound. I've tried the few available combinations of setup using the headphone socket etc but no good; and I did remember to use iDrive to switch over to Aux input.
Before I go back to the agents - does anyone please have any ideas what may be wrong?
Thanks,
Neil

DLO TransPod will give you a charger, audio output, and a cradle in a single unit that plugs into your cigarette adapter.

Can you post a pitcure of how/where you plugged your transpod in? I ordered one and I'm finding it hard to adjust it correctly.

Hi, i found a fm carkit for ipod(mini), maybe this is an idea.... But i don't know if the holder fits because there isn't much space around the cigarette lighter. Heard the sound quality is very good, my friend uses it in his vw.
Price is 35euro and shipping within NL is 5,5euro

Does anyone on the forum have any first hand experience of using these FM radiating iPOD kits.
The concept sounds plausible, but I would like to know what they're like in reality before investing in one?
Oh, and if anyone would care to post their pictures of how/where they mounted their iPOD in the car it would give us guys who are just about to do likewise a steer on how to go.
Thanks in advance.

I have the Belkin FM transmitter and dont use it at all. Its difficult to maintain a clean signal if you live in an area where there are lots of radio stations.

Have a look at my install. I had a phonemount fitted with the BMW Aux wired to a Dension Icelink (the non brand specific). The iPod is in perfect view and can be operated easily. The Dension cradle charges the iPod as well and has a decent audio out.
Because my Eten M500 Pocket PC phone does not work with the BMW Bluetooth I also had a Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth carkit installed with the display below the Dension cradle.
BTW the iPod is a carbon colored iPod Photo 60GB from Colorware PC. I will probably upgrade to a new black iPod Video.
