Just got it. Its amazing. I got it fully loaded. When I went to my audio guy he said in order to hook my iPod up he would need to disconnect the CD changer and Sirius Radio. I could care less about my cd changer but since I paid an extra 1000 dollars [unwillingly] for a lifetime membership to Sirius its bumming me out, Anyone have a work around? Besides any FM transmitter ...

 

There is such an enormous number of choices of music on Sirius you don't need to worry about the iPod attachment. You'll love it.

 

Depending on the stereo you have in your car, there is a splitter that will allow you to connect an iPod interface while still retaining your satellite. Not sure where you get it from and which model you want.

 

Been doing some research. I have a factory navi, 6 disc cd changer in the glove box and sirius satellite. Here are some links. What do you guys think? Think they'll work? Any installers out there have any feedback or confirmation?

What about spec.dock, one of the advertisers on this forum? Has anyone used their solution? I was all ready to buy it when I discovered PhatBox, and I ultimately went that route.

 

I have the Denison GateWay 400 and it retains all of it. The unit plugs in behind the CD changer and comes out to an a/b switch to go between changer and unit. The only thing I don't like is you can't switch on the fly. You have to choose your source before you turn on the car. Not a huge deal but sort of an annoyance. I mostly ride with the iPod anyway. The only other thing is te cabling, but I suppose you could hide that easily enough. The unit also has a regular mini-jack input and USB in addition to the iPod dock cable. If you have something plugged into everything (I haven't before) it prioritizes the iPod, but you can take the cable out and it will recognize the mini or USB. I have Nav, Bose, Sirius, CD Changer and now the Gateway.
