If you already own an ipod all you need is the FM converter and you're all set.
I have ordered the cable and will give it a try! Things always look easier than they are. I never gave the I pod thing a thought I think I should have gone in that direction. Thanks for the input! Just think how nice it would have been if the factory cable was there!! No luck!!To connect the factory 12 disc changer you will need the cable that runs from the back of the radio to the trunk area. The changer is mounted in the center compartment, I believe. The cable alone is around $175 if I remember right. The changer is around $775 and if you want a couple of extra CD magazines they run about $140 each. Given those kind of prices you are way ahead getting an iPod and installing it. I have heard that using an FM converter doesn't always work the best. You can hardwire the iPod into the factory radio with a connection kit. The biggest part of the job is taking the console out and pulling the radio out so the you can plug it into the back of the radio. I did mine shortly after I got it and I have been very happy with it. One word of caution, the kit is more expensive than the FM converter. Make sure you get the right cable to plug into the radio.

No , I have pulled all the carpet up and definently not there, although looks like someone had something there. They must have taken the whole deal out when they sold the car. Got the cable today fits the cd changer now just have to see if it wires up to the passengers side floor.So you are saying the factory cable is definently not there; correct? I had always heard they were all wired for this and the cable was there some place; but had no personal knowledge of this myself.

Thanks for your input. I will up date when up and running.
For those who want to look at wireless, you might want to check this one out. Amazon.com: Macally Docking, Charging, and FM Transmitter Station for iPod (Black): Electronics
I've been doing a lot of research on the different transmitters and this one seems to get the best reviews. I am going to get it and will write a review down the line.
This is a pretty neat design for sure; love the way it fits in the cup holder, how or do you know does it fit in the so called cup holder of the C-5? The reviews are somewhat mixed; so this has me a little concerned; are you buying one :confused I would rather talk to some one who has used it and give me the straight skinnyMore 5 stars than anything though :cool Again pretty igenious design I must say!

Bill, yeah I'm going to order it this weekend and give it a try. The reviews on it are definitely better than iTrips, the Kensingtons, or the Monster FM transmitters. Mac World gave it a good review too. Will definitely let y'all know how well it works.

OK, after using the Macally FMcup for a good week now, I think I'm ready to give my report.
Thanks for the detailed report, very informational for sure![]()
Is there anyway you could take a picture of it ;help in the cup holder hooked up so we could see what it looks like installed?
Thanks,
