Hi All -

My name is Dom - and i'm new to the family. I switched over from a 2006 VW Jetta to a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5SL.

I love the new car - i cant believe what a difference it is. Its been 4 days since i picked it up on my way back to brooklyn from Atlantic City and i'm still trying to figure some stuff out. I was trying to look for an iPod connector to AUX - however the sound is horrible if you plug it into the headset jack on the ipod. Was wondering if anyone found an AUX connector that plugs into the bottom of the ipod - this way the sound volume is leveled and would sound much clearer on the bose system.

I'm excited and hope to meet some cool ppl to share stories w about their nissan!

Cheers!

I use this:Belkin F8V7058-APL-BLK Auto Kit for iPod with Dock Connector - Black The Auto Kit connects your iPod device to your car's power source and includes an exclusive Belkin cable that charges your iPod from your car's cigarette lighter. The Auto Kit also provides an adjustable amplifier and 3.5mm audio-out jack that lets you play your iPod through your car stereo or other audio equipment when using a Belkin TuneCast Mobile FM Transmitter or Cassette Adapter. You'll know your Auto Kit is properly connected by its illuminated LED indicator. The unit is also engineered with a replaceable safety fuse to protect from potentially damaging spikes or short circuits.

Thanks realmac...

How's the sound quality? Do you have to adjust the volume on the ipod occasionally?

Get active here and post often. We have simply tons of coupe owners and wish to build a huge base of sedan owners and information as well. It starts with 1 person at a time

Sound quality is good. It uses the data out port on the bottom of the ipod instead of the headphone jack. The quality is very good. There is a volume control on the main piece that plugs into the cigarette adaptor, combined with head unit's own volume control lets you get things pretty loud with minimal distortion.
