Default ipod sorted

tapped into my audio system and fitted input socket and usb power for iphone or ipod.bottem switch for antenna ..upper switch for cd or ipod.
rf modulaters are rubbish..used a cassette adaptor for a time but suffers from hum a high volume.this works 100% quality.simply switch one way cd plays as normal..switch other way ipod plays perfect..cost!!!!!£2 for cable.all others bits scavange from old computer.
5v for usb is from a redundant sat nav supply..just connect to 12v with a 2amp in line fuse solder to usb.. socked is headphone output sock reversed..bit of time to wire but worth it.

Excellent, Dennis, thank you for posting this. I would like to do the same Ipod addition that you've done. I don't have a lot of experience with audio, so if you could write up the specifics on the work, cable, plugs, etc- I (and many others) would be very grateful.

Please?
