Ramblings Of An Old Geek

There are many options to adding an iPod to a mini.   The most expensive way is to install the iPod kit from mini for several hundred dollars.   That wasn’t an option for me.

The mini car stereo has an aux input which allows for direct connection of the iPod to the car .  I could have gone simple with just a male to male cable but that wouldn’t have charged the iPod as well.

My first attempt was with the Griffin Tuneflex Aux.   What a miserable product this is.   After a week it could not hold the iPod up straight and after a month, the left channel disappeared.   Run away from this guy!

So a few weeks ago I bought a Monster iCarCharger 1000 for iPod and iPhone so far I’ve been really happy with this device.   I’ve tried it in a couple of cars now and the only problem I can see with it is that I cannot figure out how to adjust the output level.

Anyway, I’ll let you know how this turns out.   If you have any suggestions for me, please let me know.

Thanks,
