Glad you only spent 25 bucks. Now do the right thing and go buy a new reciever for your car. The only real way to play your I-Pod in the Crossfire. Unless you have a Navi radio its the only way to get decent sound and control. There are units as low as 150 bucks that will do the trick. I got mine form Crutchfield and they send you everything you need to switch out the stock unit. Quit beating your head against the wall. Pics of my unit in my gallery.
