i know you supposedly need a '98 or newer stock head unit to be able to use the ice<link. however i have a '97 and before i buy a '98 head unit i was wondering. i went down to best buy to check out the adaptors and the ipodicruze/monster adaptor had the same 8 pin connector like the one for my cd changer. supposedly its on ly '98 and up but i find it very odd that it would just H APPEN to have an 8 pin connection in the same shape as the one for my 6 cd changer. any thoughts?
