Ipod on stock head unit

[[MARZS] 1]

Hi all,

Hope this is the right section to ask this...so here it goes.

 

Is there anyway that I can use the stock head unit to connect an ipod/iphone to it? Not concerned about not being able to control the ipod/iphone from the head unit.

I've had a look on the net and on ebay, but unsure what to do really. All my other cars have had aftermarket head units so they are already set up for a 3.5mm cable or ipod cable.

 

Cheers,

 

Marcel

 

P.S. Sorry for my noob-ness on this, still working out these cool little cars

You haven't said what the car is?

Search for Connects2 adaptors. I had one on my 182.

Ok, I've looked into the Connects2 adapters and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get one, but I have a few questions...

1) when i connect it up, do I still select the songs on the ipod through the ipod itself or is it able to be used through the head unit? ie, can i use the steering wheel controls to skip songs etc?

2) Do i still need to use a 3.5mm plug to get sound, or is it transmitted through the usb/ipod cable?

 

cheers

That one offers both minijack and (limited) control of the pod, but the one I had only had a minijack option so I don't know how well the remote feature works.

I'll jusy buy it...splitting hairs over nothing really. If they work they work, if not its no big deal.

 

Cheers for the help guys!!
