Aux input to ipod - BEST CABLES? - Bimmerfest

mattchapman · #1 01-17-2005, 07:17 PM

So we've all heard about the Soundgate and Blitzsafe in-trunk aux inputs. They need a long cable (2 RCA to 1/8" Stereo) to run to the glove box where the ipod is located. Can anyone recommend a good quality cable for this purpose? I'd say I need at least 10 feet...but most of the cables I see at RadioShack/Monster, etc are 7' or less.

By the way, I'm about to purchase the Soundgate AUXBMWv2 (over the Blitzsafe) as I heard its great. But do let me know if you recommend differently.

Thanks

I have cables of specific lengths made to order, generally by Ultralink. They're quality cables at reasonable prices but there are lots of other manufacturers out there too. Order through your local A/V store.

There is an option not to run the audio cable from the trunk. It is possible to tap the audio cable directly into the back of the HU. The adapter still sits in the trunk though! (I've assumed you are not using a CD changer as well)
