I'm looking for an adapter for my Ipod to connect to my Bose system. I found a couple of different ones... what are you guys using?

I recomend the AudioLink, while the Axxess that DeViLbOi suggested does have text display, if you read through the thread you'll see he's had nothing but problems for 8 pages... not sure why he still prefers it. The AdioLink is rock solid.

The one from Mazda is reliable, but no display.

Good... I think I rather have something that is reliable, then something that seems to have problems here and there. The display don't bother me too much....


Beside the display, is there anything else I should know about it?

Search for OEM IPOD

The user manual isn't really as clear it could be so I wrote up the guide below.

If you want to select a menu you hold down the cd change button (up or down) for one second or more. The number scrolls but you ignore that. When you release the button the time counter shows the menu number for a second or so before the next song starts counting.
The cd change button also is used to change the list number within the menu you selected. The list is changed if you press the button for less than one second. The only issue here is if you hit the cd button twice in one second it will change the menu instead of the list so you have to change lists slowly.
The menu numbers are documented in the manual and the list in each menu is selected in the order programmed on your IPOD.

Because since I have installed the updated hardware that they supplied it has been great.
