Isn't there an OEM-style hardwired adapter out yet? I figure for a popular car it shouldn't take long.

So I went and bought the monster icarplay thingy. It blows. Just like every other wireless modulator. Ive heard a lot of good things about that one scosche model, but they don't carry it in any of their stores anymore and their website is out of stock. I could order it for 30 bucks through scosches website but I'd probably have a hard time returning it if it sucks.


So I may just breakdown and hardwire it. Problem is Ive got an 06 Mustang and I don't want to tear apart the dashboard running wires and ****** all over. So Im looking for the easiest/not to expensive way to get this dang thing hardwired.

It's not difficult. Read the directions and take your time. Any idiot could do it...seriously, have you seen the guys who install car stereos for a living?

I ran mine into the glove box. There are no wires whatsoever and I can even control the iPod with the remote that came with my head unit. The hard wired Pioneer unit also charges the iPod.

Yea, well I don't mind the stock system Ive got in my car right now. Its a nice car (to me) and I didn't really want to tear it up putting in all kinds of mods and ******. I guess if I want this to work right I'll have to though. Maybe just get a head unit and while Im at it install some subs in the back. The shaker 500 system isn't really that bad to begin with though.
