Upgrading old 8 track player

[Print Dad 58]

Hello all,

Once again I seek advice from members here.

With this being the winter season here I am making a list of things I would like to do to the Mach.

I plan to replace the instrument circuit board and the gauges and of course the IVR.  This got me to 

thinking about upgrading the radio. I have a new (still in box)  8 track player from I think a 71 Mustang.

My question is - -does anyone know of a company that could work with the 8 track player and allow

my wife to use her I-pod? I do not want to loose the 8 track player. I think I have about 6 of them  LOL

I am hoping that there could be some sort of way to play the ipod by just plugging it in. At one time I think

there was a device that played by tuning to a certain radio station - but this sounds like a hit or miss option.

I would like to be able to just plug and play

 

Thanks for all the suggestions, comments. advice both in the past and on this

 

Keep wrenching and work safe

I think member Danno adds iPod input capability to stock radio.

Yes he does, he added it to my Ford am/fm stereo radio.

It takes forever to get it done, but mine is waiting in line for an upgrade from AM/8 track to AM/FM/8 track/USB/bluetooth with additional power output

He is not the one Mach1 driver linked.

Hi Sam ,

I purchased one of those devices that you tune in the radio about a month ago. As long as you have FM it works great. You just set the frequency on the screen to what you want and tune the radio to that frequency. I found that you can fine tune it as certain frequencies work better. Just a cheaper option.

Hello all,

Thanks for the tips and advice. I sure wish I could make a plan and get started.

Crazy weather here and I just can't seem to get the umph to get going. Just kinda seems

as though I think of a project and it snowballs into a LOT more. 

I will get this done - -Thanks again
