[QUOTE="TrainTrac, post: 853097, member: 55399"] Nick, If the modulator to which you're referring is the one from Crutchfield, that's the one I used. It's very easy to install. You can just tap into the power wires from the back of the radio, no need to go under the hood. You don't have to get the 30-pin connector. You can just get a connector that goes from your headphone jack into RCA plugs. I just preferred the 30-pin connector because it simplified the connections, and it allows for power to the iPod in the vehicle instead of using the battery. Also, the audio out of the 30-pin connection is a constant level. The audio out of the headphone jack will vary with the iPod's volume setting. Another thing that would be a worthwhile investment is a wiring manual for your Trac. You can pick one up fairly cheaply on eBay. I have one for my '04 and it's paid for itself many times over. Also, pick up a pair of these radio removal tools at Wal-Mart. Under $5, and makes removing the radio much easier.
