Default 997.1 Bose iPod/phone solution?

Hey guys,
Moved up to my first 997. It's has the upgraded Bose, which is really great, but I'd like to connect my iPhone/iPod for music. It's a 2007 and I don't see an aux input. Anyone have a descent solution?

For an easy install and bluetooth voice and audio try the tranzit blu hf.

I've had problems with FM adapters here in SoCal. There are so many radio stations I couldn't find a clean unused station to get a good signal. Ended up throwing it away.

It plugs directly into the fm antenna (hard line). There is no static nor interference and completely bypasses the fibre optic system. All music is streamed via bluetooth

I have to agree, I know several people here locally in LA that use the Tranzit Blu system. There is 0 interference like with an over the air FM modulator, despite the fact that every FM frequency has something happening on it.

One thing to note if you buy it you will want the adaptor as well. It's on one of the threads here and you won't have to tap the antenna yourself. I think it's an additional 20 dollars or something but you won't have to splice the antenna.

Tranzit-Blu HF here too. Works great, easy install, no interference, a fraction of the cost of the Dension and no glitches.

Make sure you get the correct antenna adapter. They don't sell it but it's going to save you a lot of grief for 20 bucks.

i have dension and i have to admit it does a whole lot. probably why it is $500. you can have usb hard drive plugged in, bt stream audio, ipod control and iphone gateway in addition to phone book download. the biggest thing is to make sure it is updated.

i have tooki for telephone services. the only downside of dension besides the price is there is no way to activate siri.

if you want a2dp and bluetooth for phone then it is hard to be the blu hf stuff. i honestly prefer having a usb thumb drive connected with all of my music. i don't like to activate bluetooth to stream music. one more thing to deal with.
