I currently have the Aux Input. I'm getting tired of it. I am constantly getting all of the cords tangled up, and I hate having a charger and a line for my iPod. I want to get an Ice:Link now. Will I have to remove the Aux Input, or can I have both?

thanks!

I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that it was icelink OR the aux input. I believe that they both go into the same plug in the back of the HU. But don't quote me on that. I have a Creative Zen, so never really looked at the icelink.

An alternative to your cable problem though could be to buy one of these handy little gadgets:

I have an 03MCS and have both the factory Aux input and Icelink. Both work fine.

 

I stand corrected!

 

Yes - to clarify, (although I don't have an IceLink yet), my understanding is that the IceLink replaces the CD changer input, which of course is not a conflict with the AUX input. No issue here - unless you wanted both a CD changer AND the IceLink (why? An IPod holds WAY more than 6 CDs!).

 

Edge... that's what I must have been thinking about. Thanks for correcting me. I hate it when I give out bad information.

Wish they had something like the icelink for my creative player. I like it better than the IPOD, but doesn't the ICELINK give you control off of the steerring wheel? That's the only thing I really miss. Oh yeah, and ID3 tags on the HU would be a nice addition also. Oh well, my AUX input cost $40, so I guess you get what you pay for.

 

I want to know if the Factory Aux input and the Ice link will work if I do the Blitzsafe for XM as well. I can't stand DC area Radio.

 

Here I go again, talking about something I don't know for sure..... but I think the Blitzsafe is a pass-through unit. If so then yes, It will work in the same slot as the CD changer, and still allow you to hook up the changer in a pass-through configuration.

 

MrV. Thanx for the link for the cables. I had trouble looking for a cable that was not 6ft long.

 

No problem. Had the same trouble myself.

Added hint.... I looked everywhere it seems in local shops like compusa and bestbuy and Radioshack. None of them carried it.
