Supralookin Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have a Kenwood head unit and quite fancy the idea of connecting my iPod to this for more choice and without the need to balance cds on my lap whilst driving. I've had a look on ebay and there's a few unites with adapters but I don't really want change the head unit as it's quite sexy. Doesn't play MP3's and such but it does me. Does anyone use a universal adapter etc and can point me where to buy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 connecting my iPod to the car stereo was the best ICE mod i've made. Haven't used a CD since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Do you have one fo those Far? Is the sound really that good for only a few quid? FM Transmitters are illegal in this country. I have a Sony HU and use a Connects2 adapter that makes my HU treat the Ipod as a CD autochanger, sure you can get an alpine one - then you get to skip tracks/albums on the HU itself don't have to touch the ipod, plus you get MP3 Text displayed as CD Text Also charges the ipod at the same time. Failing that, if you HU has an AUX RCA input just buy a 3.5mm jack to RCA cable and do it that way......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul -C- Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I've got an iTrip and it's useless for the car. Its practically impossible to get zero interference when you're driving around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 why are fm transmitters illegal? Well they're not technically illegal, but if you have a read of Offcoms website they are frowned upon: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/media/mofaq/rcomms/itrip/?a=87101 I personally prefer the functionality and sound quality I get from my direct interface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Check to see if your headunit has AUX in as my Kenwood does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Don't go for the iTrip unless you have absolutely no other option. When I used one it was unreliable, the sound quality was poor and when I went anywhere inside the M25 (maybe not a problem for you!), there were so many legit and pirate radio stations that it was impossible to get a clean signal.
