Audio Link iPod Integration Kit 1/14/2006
I purchased my Audio Link unit from RPM,
Revolution Performance Manufacturing.
I followed the instructions found
here
for most of the installation. The mounting bolt for my radio was rather loose. I
used a telescoping magnet to unscrew
and remove the bolt. I reinstalled it by loosely taping it to a socket head to
insure I wouldn't drop it. I had to pull rather
hard on the radio head to remove it. Kind of scary, but it came out!
Here's what you see after removing the console on a GT with heated seats.
I used a Dremel to create a small path to feed the
iPod cable into the cup holder area. You <can> feed it through next to
brake without making the cut, but I was concerned with having the cable that
close to moving parts.
I cut an additional slot in this hole cover to allow
the iPod cable through.
Here's what the finished product looks like. I
wrapped the Audio Link in foam and left it in the place shown here.
All closed up with the iPod next to my Yaesu 2 meter
radio. The lid slides shut over both units.
