Has anyone replaced the factory radio with an after-market one? I know the CD player will not connect to it (1997 HSE) but I was wanted to get a radio with an iPod connection. Also my truck has the Harman speakers. Any problem with after-market radios?

Just a thought.......they make ipods that transmit through a FM station or will with an adapter, my Xm works that way....so you wouldn't have to change out the radiio..........

I have one of those but I constantly have to change the station to get a clear signal. I just dont like having the changer in the back and want a direct plug in with my iPod.

See the iPod thread in the Disco II section.

I would highly reconmend replacing the head unit. I do not believe you can connect an ipod to the stock head unit, and fm transmiters suck. I replaced mine with this: Eclipse CD4000 and I LOVE it. It sounds amazing, excpecially on my aftermarket sterio system. Anyway, what I did was ran an AUX cable from the back of the head unit to my ipod dock and cut out of the little storage tray thing to put it in. It works and sounds great. I also have a car charger wired in so it charges too =D

Well, heres a pic.

Ill get a better one later but you can see my custom electrical taping. Haha, its just temprorary =P
