Ipod
« on: 15 April 2010, 17:25:43 »
OK,

does any one know how to hard wire an ipod to the factory fit 2005 cd player...

Ive used the fm transmitter stuff and really dont like it.

you need to get a decent fm transmitter cheapo crapo ones from eBay are not up to the job. DaveDND sells one which quite a few members use, and works well  :y

To OP, no (easy) way to wire it in...

i had to be told this about 50 times before it sunk in, there are no stereo inputs on 2015/13/11 head units. Only mono for phone kit, so they told me.


alhough TB did say no "easy" way ???

The other popular Oofers choice appears to be this one

I am stunned as to how many Oofers have now bought these from me - you guys seem to love this one

Check the specs on the mixers/amp IC/s in the unit - there may potentially be an unused input on them that something could be rigged up to. Failing that, maybe added some kind of mixer/switch between one of the source (eg, CD player) and the amp.

Suspect if the question has to be asked, then that is classed as 'no easy way' ;)

I have one, it works better than most. My biggest complaint is I wish it had more choice of frequencies, as finding an unused one to cover the journeys I do often is proving slightly challenging.


For those with NCDC radios, pop it into diagnostics mode, go to tuner, tune to radio 2 (which is the only station that is on same frequency range this device uses), and look at the alternate frequencies listing at bottom of screen - that should help find a free frequency :y
