Ipod Integration Sound Quality

nimamilani · 10-19-2006, 12:22 AM

I have connected my ipod via the aux and by using the pre-amp (monster cable). the sound quality is pretty good. I was thinking of the ipod integration. I don't really care about using steering wheel function but does it really make a difference in the sound quality???
if it does , i rather get it

thanks

it's not a HUGE difference, the integration is mostly about the steering wheel/idrive functionality.

You still can use the volume control on the steering wheel. The integration would allow for display of tracks on the radio versus your IPOD. Not worth it for me and just did the $4 plug and play. I don't notice any big differences in the sound.

For me I can hear the diff. I've tried to play the same song with the iPod connected to the kit vs using my gold coated mini-jack. The difference is quite noticeable. Like others have said, it's not huge, but it's definitely there.
