the aux jack in our trucks, do any of you use it? i have an ipod and i use a radio transmitter but sometimes out in the boonies i lose reception. was wondering if there is a jack for our ipods to fit in this jack. anyone?

 

What does the jack look like? Is it a mini stereo jack or is it like some fancy connection that dodge came up with? If it's like one of those standard jacks, you should be able to buy a conversion cable, or splic two cables together...I dont know what the AUX jack looks like, I dont have it on mine.

 

you can see it here. looks like headphone jack, but its not. its right next to preset 1 on the bottom left

 

ok...hmm...do you have anything that goes into it right now? it might be a mini, which in that case you can buy a converter cable like what I bought for my phone. My phone had a mini port on it, so I bought a converter that plugged into my phone and then my headphones plugged into the other end of the converter.

 

To hook up an ipod, all you need is a cable to run from the ipod to the aux jack, select the aux input on your radio and play your ipod. You can get a cable for a few dollars at radio shack or Sams Club. Places like Best Buy and Circuit City will rip you off on cables. Unfortunately my radio doesn't have the Aux input so I can't hook mine up this way.

 

heck ya I use it, and for bad reception my cure...... factory serius lol

 

I bought mine at Radio Shack - search site for mini cable, model ACW-343 or catalog #: 55016326

cost 3.95 + sales tax. I use it to hook my iPod up to the Aux radio port - works great

 

I definitely use it...almost everyday...i love it. I just hang my pod from the mirror, plug it in and away we go...

i got my cable from radio shack, too. i just wish they made a shorter one--the store near me only had the 6 foot cable, when i only need to go 6 inches. one of these days i'll cut it up and make a short one.

 

went to radio shack. saw one that was white and 3 feet. i grabbed it for a few bucks. the transmitter i have was over 60 bucks. i was plannin on sellin it but as i was typin this, i just realized, that aux jack wont charge my ipod........while i cant stand bad reception, chargin it is a plus, i never hook it up to the computer. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
