Need advice on an ipod adapter: Dice? BlitzSafe? USA Spec?

Longwolf · 06-07-2008, 03:11 PM

Hey guys, just picked up an 06 S2000, and the first thing I need to do is add an ipod adapter to the factory stereo. I don't want to do an aftermarket unit at this time, so I need a kit to work with the factory unit (single disc with XM prep).

Here are my options:

What do you all think is the best option? I think USA Spec unit looks to be the best option.

Thanks for your opinions!

It would appear that you are out of options

Given the previous comment, if you want an Ipod then replace the head unit. Most of the new Alpines support ipods. That said, throw away the cheapo garbage door speakers and put in some Focals with the appropriate amp.

I just installed a usa spec hon2y in my 07 last night and it is awesome. the factory controls on the dash work great. and I did not have to enter the code for the radio. I could not be happier with the interface. now time for speakers. and installation was not that big of a deal.

Actually, I ended up getting the USA Spec adapter as well, and am very happy with it. The cord though was just barely long enough for me to get the unit installed just under the glove box (behind the seats), so that the wire can plug in to my iPod in the glove box.
