Here's something interesting. This part connects inside the dashboard, and allows you to hook up an XM/Sirius receiver or an iPod to the factory stereo head.
Apparently, this is not a "rebroadcaster". You hook the lead from the device to the antenna lead of your vintage stereo, and the XM/Sirius or iPod gets hooked to another lead [glove compartment, cassette box, etc.]. Get 12 volts to the unit, and suddenly your original head is sending modern tunes through your speakers.
Has anyone here tried one, or seen [heard] a car with one of these? I currently have an iPod in my cassette box, and via a "data bus", I can select tunes on the iPod with the head unit in the dash. The problem is that the system is extremely slow, and I've had to organize my iTunes by making a playlist out of every single album! This is cumbersome and slow, and I can barely tolerate it. My other has XM in her Acura, and this network has GREAT music! I'm thinking of moving from iPod-based Pioneer head unit to the original Blaupunkt Monterey [I have it].
