I have a 2001 XLT and am considering replacing the factory OEM (Alpine) Remote 6 CD Changer with either a bluetooth device, an iPod / Android interface or a audio media player.
The radio head is an OEM combo AM/FM/RDS/Cassette with rear controls. I don't want to change it out as it works just fine and looks good. I also don't want to rewire the unit.
I have pulled the 6 CD changer to reclaim my punk rock CD's that were trapped in it. The space it took up in the center arm rest is going to accommodate some CB/HAM/GMRS and commercial radio control heads. So I am left with the CD cable from the OEM radio to the arm rest. Though repairable, the CD player is definitely not going back in.
What type of bluetooth device, an iPod/ Android interface or a audio media player have folks installed using the OEM CD interface? I know there are simple AUX adapters, but I would like some level of integration with the CD controls on the radio if possible to skip tracks, change song, so I don't have to be looking at another screen while driving. A media player would be OK especially with control integration.
Any thoughts?
