Redesigned iConsole for Ford Explorer

Posted by pudge on from the i-knew-i-shoulda-bought-an-explorer-instead-of-a-suburban dept.

Jesse Melchior writes "After all the attention I received from the iPod mini install, I decided to come up with an entirely new design, focusing on usability, functionality, and incorporating the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod into the mix. You now have the opportunity to purchase your own iConsole (that's what I'm calling it, temporarily) for the Ford Explorer Sport. To avoid any legal battles, the iConsole will not be shipping with the Apple logo. Custom install requests will be addressed as soon as possible."

    ... would be an iPod deck that replaces your car's CD or tape player.

    That way you could use it in more than just a Ford Explorer.

    I know I want a way to play my iPod in the car, but those tiny radio-tuners seem to get interfered signals with my local stations. My only other option seems to be reverting to the old tape-player & cassette adaptor.

      Take a look at car stereo systems with minipin input jacks on the front. I've found that Aiwa makes several models that have this. Then, just get a normal minipin cable and plug your iPod into your stereo. Then you can play CDs or your iPod (or a laptop, or anything really).
