Can you get a cable that plugs somewhere in the back of your headunit so i can play tunes straight from the ipod?

if you headunit has a aux-in port you can plug your ipod in that way.

that's what i do wit my sony headunit.

here's what mine looks like and the port is on the bottom right of the unit. the wee hole that looks like headphones would fit into it.

nah i got mine for £15 delivered, theres a roadtrip that has a holder/charger to but they dont fit in the saxo and stop u from getting first gear, so i didnt buy one.

just get an itrip and itll be fine, oh and there illegal due to a 60year old law !!

ow well lol...

if your head unit has changer control you can get a devise that links to the bus connector (changer input) which gives you a fly lead that plugs in the bottom of the i pod and gives you full control of the ipod from the head unit "connects 2" make one

tho if you have a bus connector youd also have an aux input so for 5 quid you could just buy a phono to headphone cable and then you can attatch anything with a headphone socket i use mine for my laptop 15" widescreen dvds sound amazing

VTaaRon is right about volume and above^^

i put my ipod on about 3/4 so that it comes thru to the sterio easily, then my headunit pumps out those hardcore dance tunes ;) (on standard spakky speakers :S)

the stereo hesslevtr can be bought on ebay for £244 and it is absolutely amazing! easy to use and can control ur ipod through the headunit.

my mates dad has this fitted to his new shape integra and it works a treat. with being able to control ur ipod through ur headunit u can put the ipod connector into the glove box so no need for any shitty holders on display!

bit more secure if u forget to take out ur ipod etc!

does anyone know where u can get a cheap ipod from??
