Sounds interesting but how does it all fit in with the "Aux" button on the Stereo?
I assume if you open up the dash, you will find some RCA inputs...wouldn't it then just be a case of running some RCA's out into the cabin so you can plug in your iPod and then just control the IPod directly?
Can anyone confirm how the "Aux" can be utilised and whether they have tried this?
nickt... 100% there is NO RCA inputs at the factory HU.Quote:

will update this later
I just read up on the snhond3...looks like thats exactly what I'm talking about!
But for an IPod you will need the converter to allow for a 3.5mm jack unless you have one of those 3.5 to dual RCA leads from your computer (if you have a surround speaker system on your PC, it should come with one of these cables...that's how I used to plug my iPod into the HU in my 200SX. Had an Alpine HU with multiple RCA inputs...ran RCA from the rear of the HU to an RCA socket flush mounted into the side of the console (near the driver's left leg) and then plugged the PC cable into the socket and into the iPod and oila! Worked really well as I had the iPod in a mobile phone holder just down to my left.
Could easily do the same in the Euro with the snhond3 by the sound of things...
Why dont you just use the itrip, or even the cheap rip offs. Ipod could sit in the center console tray.
They are like 50 bucks
As i said before FM transmitters sux when out for a long drive... U need to retune it to different FM frequency every 10 minutes...Quote:

Plus the quality is something left to be desired with FM transmitters..
Just to confirm again people, no-one has yet proved that the snhond3 interface works in oz, infact, its almost gauranteed not to as its designed for the USA, which uses a completely different stereo system.
learner, if you are really getting one, please, end the suspense and let us know once and for all if it works, PLEEEAASSEE
yes.... 100% i will have it on this friday.Quote:

Id be very interested if someone gets their ipod working through the euro's sound system. Ive been using the itrip and its not too bad, just sometimes you can hear the faintest interfearance.
umm.. see my post above!Quote:
