okay, so im wondering what i need to buy in order to play my music on my ipod in my 07 ex coupe. do i need to buy some sort of cord to plug into the aux input?

Yes you need an AUX cable or you can use one of those that use FM transmitters to make it work.

civix · 07-18-2007, 01:53 PM

okay. how much do those cost? do they have them at like target?

Yea, just by a cheap mini-to-mini stereo cable from Wal-Mart or radio shack, I would get the shortest one possible. (I think radio shack has 1ft.) That way you don't have a bunch of cord to worry about.

id run the aux cable into the glove box the the subaru wrx does.

honda ilink is another option - prob most expensive!

the coolest option is prob the harmon kardon drive + play - gives you an additional display to see song details

Just get an aux plug like 5 bucks it will be way better than a FM modulator

No, the cable does not look like that. That kinda cable is used for your home entertainment system.

Think of how the plugs headphones use look like. You need to look for a cable that has that plug on both ends.

ok thanks everyone for the help. i just got back from radioshack and i picked up a 1ft aux. cable for $5.99 and it works great.

I got a longer cord, plugged it into the Aux jack, and kinda stuffed it under the plastic on the side of the console. Then I left about 1.5 feet of slack at the end next to the drivers seat. This way the cord is out of the way of my feet, but there's still enough play at the end that I or my passenger can easily pick up the ipod.

I think there is a DIY on here about wiring it directly through the Aux jack and completely hiding the cord up through the console. That way you dont have to look at the cord plugged into the Aux.
