looking for any useful info on some of the ways to connect my IPhone 4 to the factory stereo in my '03 R/T. would be great to play music and have hands free.
recently bought some POS FM transmitter and it sucks, I have to crank up the volume to hear tunes and when I get interferance it is way load and it also doesnt have hands free capability.

thanks for any info.

Icarkits.com I have one of these in both my truck and my DD and love it! Best money I ever spent for a radio upgrade. Plugs into the factory head unit and allows you to control the iPod or I phone through it. Also nice if you have pandora on the I phone.

Unfortunately no. I wouldnt be able to use it anyways can hardly talk on the phone as my truck is to loud. There isn't a setup out there for hands free phone that I'm aware of.

I have a bluetooth earpiece and an older phone (yay! it's got a camera!) and it's smart enough to listen to what I say and most often times actually do it.

Don't need some fancified extra add-on shit to go wrong in your truck to make phone calls. Shoot, my son-in-law can start his suv from his phone - but for what it cost him I'd have a decent set of heads on the Magnum. Money better spent elsewhere...

If you don't mind compromising stock interior (if you have it) then just spend $100 on a new head-unit w/ iPod attachment and install kit. Pick one up from best buy and they'll get you what you need for the install.

I have a Sony X-Plod in my truck and it has a cable out of the back plugging into my phone charging it and playing music off of it.
