Hey guys, I have (will have) these three items:

Alpine CDA-9885 HU

Bluetooth

and I will have iPod cord

I was wondering if anyone know of a cheap but effective way to get all these to work together? I am in the process of buying a house so I dont really have a big (50+) budget to get this to work, but if there is a way to get this to work on the cheap, I would like to know.

I think I can use the Ipod control with an FM transmitter but i dont want all the static and I travel out of town on a weekly basis and dont want to have to worry about finding stations that have "no" static.

Thanks for the advice in advance!

those cables both interface with the headunit, thats the point of them, no extra wire is needed. no need for an fm transmitter the ipod cable plugs directly into the hu. same with the bluetooth

I know I can use the Bluetooth and I can use the iPod cable, but I want to know how to use BOTH at the same time...

I think there is only one plug for them, so its a one or the other thing... I could be wrong, thats why Im askin...

EDIT:

here is a pic of the back of a CDA-9885, and only the plug on the left can hold the iPod cord OR the bluetooth... from what I understand

you can plug the ipod cord into the blue ainet plug, as for the bt cord you have it doesnt look like an ainet cord. There may be some sort of older ai net wier that came with thes bt set thats not pictured.
