SupraGirlie Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Works fine, very good head unit. Comes with remote. I'd like £100 + £6 postage or swap p/x for one I can use my iPod with but it has to have a removable fascia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I use this stereo just fine with my ipod. If you want, I'll find out what the adapter I use. btw: Very good head unit well recommended. ") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris2o2 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Ah I was told I couldn't use it with my ipod, I can't see anywhere to connect an adapter though? Nowhere on the back of the headunit to plug it into ? I just bought a pioneer Hu and the ipod connection is on the back and i run the wire into my glovebox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes in the back, you need the CD-IB100 or CD-IB100 II to make it work with an iPod, plugs in like a CD changer. http://www.suchartsound.co.th/images/newproduct/pioneer_cd-ib100_l.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Yep! Thats what I have (see above) and it works a perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Seems rather a hassle, I wanted something I could plug straight in to the front of the unit, so I would have to have a wire permanently there with that. I imagine it will work out expensive also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Eh? You just plug your iPod into a cable, remove it when you are done, the bulk of it hides away and all you have is the white cable in the cabin, once installed it's no hassle at all. What kind of head unit allows you to connect an iPod without a cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of head unit allows you to connect an iPod without a cable? I didn't say I wanted one without a cable, as that makes no sense, just that I don't want a cable always there which I assume it would have to be with one that plugs in to the back as it's not easily accessible quickly is it. Also, it's £90 on eBay, which I don't fancy spending especially as I am not overly attached to this unit, and I could get around £100 for this, plus for the £90 for this cable, which I could put towards a good unit which I can plug my iPod directly in to the front when I need.

michael Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Fair enough, most people like the way the adapters work, nice install, no trailing wires, easy to hide etc - if you prefer a wire stuck in the front of your head unit that's fine and dandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would have to get someone to install it for me as I am useless with this sort of thing. Is the wire long enough for you to change the track etc from the drivers seat if it's in the glove box?

Ah ok I thought when using an ipod to play albums on your stereo it needed to be changed from the ipod. I am considering this adapter as I could fit it when I do the speakers I suppose. Just seems rather expensive that's all. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
