leon cupra what radio?

[John _Boy]

Hi all,had my cupra about a month but it has an aftermarket JVC radio that is really irritating not least cos it won't work with the cd changer (i hate faffing with disks).

Which radio should be in it? Its a Y reg leon 20VT cupra. Then I can get searchin on the bay for one unless anyone has one they wish to flog.

Cheers
John

had an ipod connection in my old st and really liked it so thats an idea

 

[MrBen2k7]

I wanted an I-pod connection for the stock Aura... but I got an iPhone... doesnt work

 

[Richie-LCR]

not bad price tbh cos unless my speakers have been upgraded im very happy with the standard stereo

but that doesnt work with the iphone? so im like you, still stuck with no iphone connection, might just need to get an ipod then

 

[MrBen2k7]

well... no you can get these...

[Richie-LCR]

ah you're a man of good taste! i've been wanting that stereo for a while now but i cant bring myself to spend that much on a stereo, im more about power these days so £270 is quite a few bhp

 

[MrBen2k7]

eBay, might bring some offers... they sell some cheaper from the US... but i dont know how the connectors will fair here in the UK...

The thing with the standard Aura head unit and it's changer, they don't play mp3s.

 

[John _Boy]

not bothered about playing mp3's, and i don't have an ipod as can't be bothered putting stuff on it. happy enough to just bung in the cd and press play... lol


i have a few in my watch list as we speak

Cheers
John

Does it definitely not work? Most of the compatibility issues with the iphone 3G and the 2nd gen touch are related to the charging because they use the firewire charging pins in the dock connector which arent used in the 3G or 2nd gen touch, this is quite easy to get around though.

Personally I wouldnt bother with a stock ipod kit though as theres no way of navigating your songs due to no track info, in that case its better to get an aux input and then control the music on the ipod itself
