[alfa] Alfa iPod / iTrip

[alfacybersite <acs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Once again thanks all. It does sound as if the iTrip does have its 
limitations. The owner lives about 45 miles west of Cleveland, OH. I'm 
guessing there might be a few radio waves in the area. I have no idea if 
the car would ever be taken through parts of the US where there are 
virtually no radio stations (except country of course) and the iTrip 
should not only work perfectly but be a blessing.

I gather one can't "power" the iPod with a simple cord / connection to 
the cigarette lighter, but it simply charges the batteries as you drive. 
I'm guessing a bit of bulkiness which I'm trying to pare down to a 
minimum. Since I'm going to replace the push-and-hold lighter unit in 
the '69 Spider with a "normal" one, I'm guessing the charger will then 
fit / work okay?

Unless the owner wants to do all this himself, I'd like to get a short 
black or gray (the latter to match the center tunnel carpeting) cord for 
the input from the iPod to the hot-rodded Blaupunkt and try to find a 
way to keep it out of the way until / if it is needed.

Damian Magista: Finally found your Plexi holder / iPod /  iTrip 
installation in your Berlina. Looks neat and clean.

I appreciate Benjamin Kaupp for including the "new" site for the Plexi 
iPod holder.

Ever onward...
