Default Connecting an ipod to a philips radio?

Poor quality, and can be unreliable with a lot of full-logic decks -
the tape slack cancelling in some units confuses the adaptor with a
tape that's badly wound, which can result in it spitting the tape back
out constantly.

* Using an itrip or similar


Illegal and, probably more importantly, potentially dangerous. We do
everything we can to deter people from using them.

* Connecting it to the aerial port using an adapter (you can then
switch between ipod and radio)#


You can do this, but the quality of FM modulators varies drastically,
from acceptable to utterly useless.

* Connecting it to the stereo's cd changer port using an aux-in adapter


There's no basic aux.input lead available for older D2B units as far
as I'm aware, so you'd have to use the ARNIPOD001 kit - which also
charges and gives basic track control. We do these at £90 - still not
especially cheap, but £27 less than you've been quoted.
