BtownVolvo Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 So does anyone know the difference in the two models to give it an aux connection. Would it be possible to get the newer head unit and put it in an older model. Nope completely different system. On top of that, it's not like you can re-wire it as it's all in optical loop. Your options remain (for 04.5-06): - Aux port mod (via thread listed above) **ONLY FOR NON-PREMIUM AUDIO** - Dension Gateway 500 - FM Transmitter (hard wired or not) For what it's worth, I had my XM radio hard wired into the FM antenna and it always did a decent job. So that means you can hard wire an AUX module and use it to plug in an RCA input (i.e. your iPod). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1122 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 The only definite disadvantage to hardwired FM modulation is (I believe) that FM is a compressed signal since regulations require FM to operate within a certain frequency response range. Otherwise, if you can find a band which doesn't result in a lot of interference, it's an okay solution and is a good value since the price is rather low.

The quality isn't anything to rave about, but it gets the job done. Better than the cigarette lighter FM modulator IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
