Factory or aftermarket deck?
title says it all. Can any of you install guys give me any insight?
rf transmitter is what I'm using right now until I install my new hu.
Just pick a low fm station and it plays pretty good, there might be some static depending where ya drive.

I'm buying a radio in the next month or so. 9Gs are annoying because you have to buy an aftermarket center console piece in order to install an aftermarket radio. I wanted to keep the OEM look so I went w/ the FM transmitter but it's not up to par (for me). I gotta bite the bullet and go aftermarket radio
there are units now that interface with most cd-changer control equipped headunits. idk if the 9g radio has a port for cd changer controls though. You can find them on ebay.
there are also guys on ebay that actually hardwire in a 3.5mm jack into your factory headunit. Again, idk if they do/would for the 9g radio.

What year is your 9G? IDK if this will help you but I did find this on ebay.

Thanks. I saw that last year when I was doing my due diligence. The smarties at Mitsu did not keep the AUX mode on the radio for my '09 9G so I couldn't use that. The only OEM type alternative is to pay around $200 for the ipod kit. I believe the '08s are like that too.
I was pretty upset that I couldn't just use that AUX cable. Would make life much easier
Oh ok. Have you ever considered the Harman/Kardon ipod kit? My boy has one in his wife's Pathfinder. He says it works pretty good.
Ok, just throwing a few suggestions out there. But like I mentioned above, my boy put one in his wife's Pathfinder himself. Didn't say it was too hard.
Yeah no doubt. I'm probably picking up a head unit in about a week. I'm just looking at units with detachable faceplate, DVD, and Bluetooth. Plus a HU will give me some real EQ control, which I hope will improve my sound.
No sir. The radio has to have the AUX function (you hold the CD button. It should show AUX on the display if you have the function). The other option is to get an FM transmitter (wired= more work but better sound quality, wireless= super easy, sound stinks) if you want to keep the factory radio and center console.
hold the "CD" button for like 6 seconds and it changes to aux on the stock radio
Fm MOd, Harmon kardon unit, alpine has one too. If you have the port yes, it will recognize it as a changer and play. Probably wont have full control over it or text on the display, but it'll work
