xcarlink Ipod/USB for Euro

[r-r-redEuro]

hey i got the xcarlink USB interface.
I just wanna know if i wanted to plug in an mp3 player or ipod into it, would it work without setting the files as "CD01 and CD02" etc ?
Because i tried plugging in my friends ipod and the xcarlink just froze and didnt work. It only works with my SD card where i did put CD01 folders.
Can someone help me how to get the USB interface working with an IPOD in it or MP3 player in the "line in" or USB in.

If you're using the Line In, then you just start playing the iPod or other MP3 player, your stereo is just like a massive pair of headphones. You can't control the songs from the stereo or steering wheel.

Also, you can't plug the iPod USB cable into the USB port, that won't work, you have to either buy the iPod unit or just use the headphone plug on the iPod.

Yeah I'm not sure what setting to put your stereo on when using the Line In, I haven't tried it on mine (yet). I'd guess that you'd put it on CD1?

CD01 on AUX IN? or CD1 as in CD?

You would need to have the head unit on "CD-C" (CD changer) for certain, and then I suppose you'd select CD no. 1 (using the 5/6 buttons).

If I get a chance, I'll try it out with my iPod version (which also has a Line In) this weekend.

thats your Ipod version i got the USB interface its different :S.

To those who have the USB interface and not the IPOD interface, is there a way where i can use an mp3/ipod through the line in ?

when i try the screen just goes to CDC - 8:88 and doesnt work, even if i put it back to 1:01 or so it still wont work.

With my one, I have a mini-USB to headphone jack which goes into the mini-USB marked "bluetooth" (of course...)

Set the Honda stereo to "CDC:4" and it'll say 8:88, but it'll take the audio output from the iPod and amplify it. I should take a photo but it's cold and dark outside .

The USB input is CDC:3, and I think the SD card reader was CDC:2 but I don't use SDs very much.

how do you change the CDC to CDC:1 or 2, 3 etc ?
i only can do CD or CDC,
|CDC------"volume"------1:01|
like with that what i want to know is do you mean CDC:1 with the 1 next to it or on the right hand side of the little screen ?
Because the whole point of this is i wanna use the line in with other mp3/IPOD players without getting them to set files "CD01""CD02" etc before hand.
and just play with the music already in there.

sorry to dig up an old topic but, i tried using the video and reading through the forum but i cant seem to pull the gear boot trim off.
The front(towards bonnet) two clips came off easily but the ones adjacent to the cup holders just wont budge. I put my fingers in the bottom corner of the gear boot pulled upwards on the edge of the trim and used all my body weight as well but the clips didnt let go, the trim started to bend a little bit in the middle but the clips on the side were just too tight.

Lil help or suggestions as to what i may be doing wrong?

Just force it. Don't be a girl :P
