Product Description
For those craving the Ultimate” Static-Free and Interference-Free iPod experience, this hardwired i-FM-RDS Pro-Install � cable by Dice Electronics is your solution for playing your iPod over your vehicles radio. The i-FM-RDS PRO kit is the first to offer Static-Free, hardwired integration for iPod s creating unparalleled audio quality in the market. Unlike FM transmitters, this kit provides a VERY high-quality FM modulator that connects your iPod to your factory or aftermarket radio antenna jack using the FM antenna to feed its signal. FM transmitters send their signal wirelessly and as a result you get constant bleed over from strong radio stations and overall marginal sound quality. However, with the i-FM-RDS PRO you get the best FM quality sound we have ever heard, plus Artist and Title information is displayed on the radio display panel (with radios that support RDS-text); Powers/Charges your iPod; and offer user control from the iPod buttons and click wheel - ALL from one � Pro-Install � cable. And no worries, you can still use your regular radio and tune through all the stations with the iPod disconnected. The i-FM-RDS kit is compatible with all iPod models. About RDS: Radios with RDS capability allow the currently playing song title and artist name to be displayed on the screen of the radio. To find out if a radio has RDS, tune to a popular radio station and if the station name is displayed then the radio has RDS capability. If your radio does not have RDS capability it will still receive the tremendous benefit of Static-Free and Interference-Free audio. The Dice i-FM-RDS � Pro-Install � kit is your solution to how music should sound, providing Static-Free and Interference-Free audio while playing your iPod through your vehicles radio.DICE i-FM-RDS Pro Universal iPod to Car Stereo Interface withText Display Review
After much research, I discovered that our Navigator was unable to accept a direct line-in adapter for an ipod/iphone due to the rear navigation system using the "spare" input on the receiver. I was resigned to not having an ipod input in this car, but kept on searching. Am I ever happy I did.After finding and researching this product, I decided, with some trepidation, to order the "pro-install" version. the trepidation came from the fact that I have previously tried FM transmitters to play portable devices through the car stereo, and have never had satisfactory results with regard to sound quality. I decided to give this system a chance, since it is directly wired into the antenna and not just transmitting through the air on an FM frequency (at least with the pro-install option). And by the way, don't let the name "pro-install" fool you. This is a DIY kit for anyone who is comfortable taking our your car stereo to get to the back and finding the right power wires to connect to. If you are not scared of those things, then you wan install this in under an hour.
I won't go into the boring details of the install, but i will say it was a piece of cake. The toughest part was deciding where to route the dock connector cable. I decided to route it to the center console. One installed I turned on the stereo, plugged in the iphone, and tuned to the FM frequency I had selected (you can select which frequency you want to use based on which FM frequencies are not used in your area). Voila! Crystal clear sound. Nothing at all like the FM transmitters I have used in the past. I also really like the RDS feature. It displays the artist, song, and album or playlist title on your stereo. the only thing this product doesn't do is allow you to control your ipod through your stereo controls. You use the ipod itself to control the music. No big deal for me. In fact, I think it's easier that way.
I heartily recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy solution to playing an ipod thorough your car stereo.
