I did but with AUX2CAR. So defly get some pics of this product before install and anything you feel is missing from my old one.

yep i followed that tutorial and everything worked out fine
its very easy....i just had a problem taking the cup holder out for some reason =T

I received my DFTOY today. I think something is missing, how do you connect the IPOD to this?

u need an rca to headfone plug thing
it does not come with it....so ur not missing anything
go buy one at radioshack or soemthing

I was under the impression that the ipod will be connected directly to the box by the Ipod port , and that it will keep it charged.

No, thats not how it works. You need to buy an 1/8" (headphone) to RCA adaptor. The RCA plugs connect to the box, and the headphone plug connects to your iPod.

This unit does not charge your iPod.

It's not a big deal. You're just converting from an standard RCA jack to a standard 1/8" mini jack. It might be cool if they connected to the iPod interface, but there are variants of even that and it would limit the devices you could interface. By using the line level RCA jacks it's compatible with just about everything with a simple cable. One comment, though - you do have to turn the headphone volume way up.

Since the DFTOY offers two inputs, I use one for my XM, and one for my Nano. It's worked great.

If that was what you wanted, then you bought the wrong item... search around here for the thing you want...

A few brands:

Dension
Vais

Does anyone is having trouble with the DFTOY?

I'm having the problem that the radio does not change to the aux. CD. First few weeks it worked fine, but now when a push the CD button it seems it don't recognize the USAI.

I just bought one of these at my local CC last night. Put it in today, really simple install after reading all the posts about this. It works great and sounds great. Check out your local CC if you need one, around me in NJ they all seem to have them in-stock.

I almost had a seizure when I left your post (AND THAT DAMN AVATAR) on a little TOO LONG in front of me while I worked on something else....

....and I STILL don't see the "EPILEPSY WARNING" disclaimer....


HA HA HA HA......

Finally just ordered off the net.... (I'm in LAME-ARSE OHIO where we don't have CC or BB on every corner.... no STARBUCKS either.... gotta make my OWN venti's....)

Anyway, 69.99 no tx w/free shipping.... so so.... but if it works well, the money is history, I'll be glad to put it in.

I'll post results...
