apple in my euro

[EUR.09N]

hi,

does anyone know anything about installing an i-pod to the Euro OEM head unit AUX input, where to get the cables and where to get them installed?? im located in sydney and FM modulator is not an option cause they are crappy.. i heard that once installed it can be controlled using the steering wheel controls.. is this true?

oh.. and how would one hook up an amp to the head unit.. for subs

[bigdongers]

dont know about the iPod but to hook a sub up to the stock deck, you will either need to get an amp that takes speaker line inputs or buy some line output converters which convert your speaker wire outs into RCA plugs that you can plug into most amps.

You may be better off getting an aftermarket deck installed as the sound will be cleaner.

im not really interested in another head unit, dont want anything fancy so i'll look into those line output converters.. cheers

Alpine has the KCA-420i iPod interface, but it's made for Alpine head units only.

Got my KCA-420i fitted now and it works a treat.

Only problem is the scrolling text display when searching for a song is very slow on the display. (might have to read inst.)


When i get car back from service i will post some pics. (not that its exciting, black cable plugs into ipod lol woopdedoo)

As far as pluggin ipod into factory deck u will need some kind of adapter (rca-honda) as honda made it difficult by not having good ol RCA inputs for AUX.

Hey EUR.09N,

Perhaps you could look into this option. It might be a bit expensive but it can be operated as part of your original sound system which means you could operate you iPod on your steering wheel!

http://store.yahoo.com/logjam/sounsnhond3.html
it able you to have the aux for the euro hd....
but the thing is tats from america as for tsx.. their factory hd is different from us in aust.. i am really not sure it will work... i have ask so many ppls did anyone try tat in aust.. but no reply so far...

i found this page lastweek... is a jap guy using the Soundgate SNHOND3 to connect his ipod to a CL7 ..... the hd is more similar to us... and it works... so i guess tat device WILL WORK on aust euro as well...

now i just looking for somewhere tat i can get it... cos i couldnt found anywhere will ship overseas...... if u able to find tat anywhere.. can you pls let me know... thx
here is da jap CL7 link http://www.iishi.jp/car/audio.html

Soundgate has a product that can control ipod as well...
http://store.yahoo.com/logjam/piehon03pcpod.html
allows DIRECT PLAYLIST ACCESS, as well as track up/down, fast-forward, rewind, and shuffle functions to be controlled from your factory radio
