"Bobbing for Apples" by Regina Spektor is a great song.

Halloween should be Regina Spektor day, she already has the perfect name for it.

Hey guys, I found a similar item for the car.

Now I'm all set for in the car in and in the house for about $30 total.

Hey, I've got a car audio/line in issue. Maybe I'll try bouncing it off of you guys. When I bought my '01 Civic last year, the guy said it used to have a sirius radio (actually gave me the thing). There's a 3.5mm plug hanging out of the center console, along with the antenna connection and a power plug. I figured, great, I'll use that 3.5mm input with my iPod. I can't figure out how to switch to that input on the factory stereo. It's a CD head unit, with a 6 disc in dash CD changer, so I'm guessing he had the CD changer added in later when he got rid of the Sirius service. But I could be wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

Is there something on the head unit that says auxiliary? I know in my daughter car the input has to be changed.

In one of our cars, the radio has to be changed to XM mode to activate the iPod dock that we installed aftermarket in place of the XM radio. It could be though that the 3.5mm input used to run into the Sirius head unit that was behind the factory radio and without that there, it's a 3.5mm 'bridge to nowhere.'

Nope, the only source buttons I have are AM/FM and Tape/CD. Which is a good trick, since there's no tape unit in the car. I've got the Sirius module--it's the standalone one that could be used in either a car or with a regular stereo.

Ok, next suggestion, I've also seen it where you press AM/FM or Tape/CD several times to cycle through until you reach the input option that isn't listed. Any chance this will work?

i.e. in our Toyota, pressing CD when it is already on CD goes to input "CD1" which is actually XM, which in our case has been replaced with an iPod input. (guessing you've tried all this, but it can't hurt to double-check)

Yeah, I've tried cycling the CD button, but it only goes between the changer and the internal CD. I haven't tried cycling the AM/FM recently, but since this was an add in, I suspect that it wouldn't be there. Guess I should just pull off the dash (blech) and have a look see.

Scary thought! Good luck.
