Its there any option, other than the DENSION unit, to connecting an iPod to my '05 digital radio? For example, connecting an auxiliary mini plug to the radio, like my relatively inexpensive ’05 Jeep radio has?

FM transmitters (they don't sound very good, but it's really easy). Cassette adapters (sound a little better, but there is the 'wire' issue and the associated clutter). Also NAV-TV (sp??) also makes a similar adapter to the Dension. Pricey (Dension, NAV-TV) either way though.

I was going to get the Dension, but I've found that my radio hasn't been on much at all since I got the car :D

BTW, my car is also an all black Turbo S. Mine's a coupe though. B)

Black is great when it's clean (which last about 5 minutes), right? :) You have to love to wash and wax a black car as much as you love to drive it.

Thank's for the reply and info. I have an FM transmitter which isn't great. I was hoping there was an easy whay to hook up an auxiliary plug adapter without loosing the use of the CD changer as the Dension type products require. However, my search of the web so far has not produced such an item. I'm really not interested in controlling the iPod through the car's PCM as the PCM display is not the digital graphics of the iPod anyway.

There are companies that make the cable for the iPod that connects directly into the CD player RCA jacks but there again you loose the CD changer. I guess I'll either bite the bullet and loose the CD changer or live with the FM transmitter.

Nice mods. Black Turbos Rule! :)

YES THEY DO!

FWIW I just bought a 2002 996TT and installed a whole new aftermarket system. I got the Alpine IVA-WR205, which had everthing I need. AM/FM/Sirius/Nav (with a dockable portable nav unit)/Bluetooth/Great iPod integration. Can be expanded to include HD radio, XM, backup cameras. Not cheap, but the old radio was a cassette and I'd have to have a bunch of other stuff to get all the features.
