It works great and sounds really good to me. I got the 1-Ft Shielded Stereo Audio Cable from Radio Shack part #42-2497 for $5.99. It is 1/8" stereo miniplug to 1/8" stereo miniplug m/m. The ipod shuffle fits in the ashtray which I don't use anyway and the plug is plenty long enough. When I am done I pull the plug from the dash and put cable in the ashtray with the ipod and close it. Nobody knows it's there! Well, until now that is. |
Jim, I just picked up the exact same cable from my RS the other day and do the same with my iPod. All I have on my iPod so far is my CD collection from home and the sound quality depends on the age of the CD. The newer CDs sound fantastic and have a full, rich, robust sound while some of the older ones sound tinny.
As far as the sound of the Tundra's sound system - I have the mid level stereo (the one with the 6 disc changer). I wish that the volume knob was not so hard to turn - maybe it will loosen up with time. I think the sound quality and volume is decent for a stock system - on par with my last mid-level 6 disc changer in the Titan. I do like the way Nissan allows you complete flexibility over the programming of your station buttons, though. To wit, on the Titan you can program any of the 18 presets to any AM, FM or satellite station you wish - you could have 18 AM stations if you could find that many! On the Tundra you are limited to 6 FM1, 6 FM2, 6 AM and 6 satellite stations. Why restrict the flexibility?? On the other hand - it is kind of neat how you can set the Bass and Treble separately amongst the FM1, FM2 and AM stations.
My 2 cents - re.ac.tor
