Testing waters... iPod integration..
I was recently searching for a way to connect my iPod directly to the stereo in my '02 911 and I remembered a contact I've got in China who sells electronic components.
I called him up and I can put in an order to have several units made but I wanted to make sure there's a need for them here before I finalize my designs.
Basically it'd be a combination of an Aux-input (for at least 96-02), a noise filter (to eliminate alternator whine) and a power connection on one end (all hidden behind the dash) with a normal looking iPod connection on the other end.
So what you'd get is a device that both charges your ipod and plays music directly through the auxiliary input of your head unit.
The installation would be simple and I would be able to include everything that you'd need to install it, including radio keys and detailed instructions.
Installation would not require any cutting/modification of your vehicle or it's wiring harnesses.
Right now the price is looking to be around $60
Would many of you guys be interested?
If I can get some interest I'll go ahead and have the first batch ordered and shipped over so I can supply you guys with pictures.

There are two separate auxiliary inputs on the head units, I'll let you know.

Are you designing for pre-MOST cars only?
Great to see some Entrepreneurial spirit - g/l
you know what would be hot- an interface that lets you hook up any head unit to the factory amp on MOST cars. RCA-in on head unit side and fiber/MOST connection on amp side. I'll take 10% of gross sales please

At this point, yes.
I'll shift my efforts once the pre-MOST is under control.

How does it compare with this one @ $40?

Nice first post...
I'm pretty sure that you can not tap in to the auxiliary input plug on the becker head units for power, I may be wrong...
With a setup like that you'll have a constant alternator whine that somewhat defeats the purpose (cleaner sound) of an auxiliary input.
Also, unlike that one, my unit would include a high-pass filter, radio removal keys and all supplies needed for installation,
