I have a Garmin 340 that I'd like to play my IPod through. Is it simple to
pull the the audio panel and hook up a plug that will allow my IPod to plug
into the Music 1 channel? Am I allowed to do this or does an A&P, or
Avionics shop have to be involved?

Any help appreciated.

Micheal,

It is one of the simpler jobs, technically, to install stereo plugs to
the audio panel. However, gaining physical access to the panel's
connector will probably be a bit of a challenge. If you are handy with
tools, and wiring in particular, go for it. Otherwise, it's one of
those simple, "quick" jobs that your avionics shop will end up having a
lot of time wrapped into.

I'm surprised this wasn't done during the initial install, would have
added about 1-2% to the total labor cost. Oh well, FWIW, I run my iPod
through my PMA6000, and it truly is a wonderful way to motor down the
airways!

Happy Flying!
