I'm using an audio cable from my ipod headphone jack to the aux jack. I've also turned up the ipod volume fairly loud.

Get the iPod cable the guys were talking about earlier. It's the one from EAS and for under $200 you''ll have a much better signal from the iPod.

This cable with the dock-to-mini plug gets a real line-level signal out of the iPod vs the headphone output, which is of lower quality when used in this fashion.

I went with the CD changer as I wanted the ID3 tags from MP3 CD's on our NAV screen, plus the increased sound quality when played regular CD's. Also a super-easy install with the 3 & 6 pin connections in the back of the X. No programing needed from the dealer, 4 bolts and it's in!

Good luck enjoy!
