Ipod instead of CD changer on stock radio

[Cambridge]

I've wanted to plug an ipod in instead of my cd changer. My stock radio works fine (and I like the look), but I'd like it to control an ipod instead of the cd changer. I'd also like the ipod signal to enter directly rather than through a cassette adapter or FM transceiver.

I haven't found any aftermarket devices that do this for the E34 world. I was wondering if there are any others interested in such a device?

I'm using the cassette adapter for now, but soon will be upgrading head unit and ipod connection will be prority #1.

Sync-ing my son's 2 gig MP3 player, I would really enjoy being able to hook one up, but not lose my CD Changer

Cambridge--I hate anonymously polls. I want to know who the 7 people are who want ipods. I am the one person who wants satellite radio.

My apologies; I didn't give it much thought.

Harmon Kardon's ipod system is nice, but to connect it, you would need one of the following:

1) Plug their system into your head unit's aux input (missing on stock E34's)
2) Plug their system into your head unit's cd changer input through a third party interface (none made for stock E34's)
3) Use their wireless FM transmitter

I'd like something that plugs into the head unit like the cd changer does...

... it'd be nice to have both the cd changer and the ipod.

I found one option. Install a BMW CD43, C43 or a C33. Bavauto sells an adapter that allows ipod and aux input. But if you have any of these heads forget your ipod and get a phat box or ice link. The head will look like stock and I think it even makes the interior look a little newer.
