xcarlink Ipod/USB for Euro

[SPO73D]

Anyone got a contact number/email for xcarlink guys in australia,
- 70 bux listed there, but their site wont let you buy it (expired certificate)
- guys at sydney installers are having it at $145.50,
- xcarlink in the uk selling it at 137.90

Im guessing, just grab it from the sydney installers? or is there a cheaper place. Cheers

BTW ^^^ you inbox is full

I don't think they are answering emails either, they've gone totally off the radar as far as I know....

If you don't care about brand names, the Chinese ones are cheaper. You might get a dud but the returns are straightforward and you can bargain down the price to further take advantage of the strong AUD.

any news on the sydney people?
do they install and supply the unit?

Im after one that i can plug in the iphone4 and control the music from the steering wheel. but also like to be able to answer calls from bt.

This Xcarlink can do it right?
I read you need to have the xcarlink with iphone adapter + bluetooth?

[chuboy]

It can. As for bluetooth im not sure but there are chinese models that have bluetooth connectivity.

You don't need someone to install it for you. I'd never done it before, I just watched an instructional vid on youtube and took my time and was 100% successful. All you need is a few screwdrivers to access the head unit then whatever attaching tools you want.

[TurBIce]

Ah well all I really wanted was a mic so I can do handsfree from the phone swell as use the cable to charge and use the steering wheel controllers

So has any one managed to get xcarlink to work with USB keys larger than 2GB?

I tried the folder structure CD01 - CD10 on a 4GB USB key but still no luck.

If anyone succeeded in getting it to work with a USB larger than 2GB please share the brand etc.

So with the install, did you guys end up cutting into the center console?

Or mount it elsewhere?

I found the easiest and cleanest way of doing it is mounting it to the front center console (below the head unit). You don't need to cut anything, you can basically run the wire from the top of the box (behind the lid) and mount the unit to the side of the center console so you can still actually use it (it is a massive center console ). Ill try to post some pics tonight.
