cheapest way to connect IPOD to factory stereo? no aux in...
 

I have an '04 Mazda 6i with the factory stereo. There is no Aux/USB/Ipod input and no way to easily wire an aux input. There is also no casette deck.

What is the cheapest/easiest way to connect my IPOD to my factory stereo? FM transmitter?

Thanks

^Interfaces like that can work well if you have a factory deck that can use it. Otherwise a hardwire FM modulator is a decent way to go.

At that price I would rather just get the Metra dash kit and install one of my head units I have knocking around.

Do you have any suggestions on which FM modulator to get?

Thanks

The only one I have used lately is the one FS sells. It's an ok piece.

This one has worked great for us.

iSimple TranzIt IS77 - Universal Car Kit - iPod, iPhone, iPad, Audio Devices

The iSimple is a good piece too and offers charging of an iDevice. I do see the odd one come back with the iCable gone bad though so best to treat it nicely.
